"Beyond doubt, Charles Sanders Peirce was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century and certainly the greatest American thinker ever" Bertrand Russell, 1959Peirce was also the founder of Pragmatism which is the only philosophical tradition from the US. Pragmatism was popularized by the works of William James and John Dewey. Peirce's original contributions to Philosophy and Logic have been overlooked and neglected mostly. "The only original philosophical tradition from the US"Unlike James' and Dewey's pragmatisms, Peircean Pragmatism had logical and mathematical foundations. Peirce was a keen observer of nature, but he was also one of the best logicians ever lived -after the great Aristotle and Leibniz, of course. That is why his Pragmatism was based on logically sound and solid grounds. In order to do so, he developed his own system of Logic which he called Semiotics or "the science of reasoning".Pragmatism is subsumption under Peirce's general theory of signs -Semiotics. And, it should be treated that way. Pragmatism, first and foremost, is a theory on the "right ways" of thinking and reasoning. It is a result of Peirce's theory of cognition which was based on older philosophies as well as recent scientific findings such as biological evolution and statistical methods. This collection was carefully selected from among the best writings of Charles Sanders Peirce on the subject. The book contains the following essays: 1- The Fixation of Belief 2- How to Make our Ideas Clear 3- Questioning Certain Faculties Claimed for Man 4- Some Consequences of Four Incapacities 5- Grounds of Validity of the Laws of Logic 6- The Doctrine of Chances 7- The Probability of Induction 8- The Order of Nature 9- Deduction, Induction, and Hypothesis With this book, the reader will discover: The foundations of scientific and logical thinking The scientific and mathematical theory behind Statistics and Probability The three distinct modes of logical inference: induction, deduction, and abduction The logical way of constructing ideas and beliefs The core ideas behind the very first (and, sadly the last) American philosophical tradition: Pragmatism The theoretical discussions underlying Psychology traditions of the 20th century The original illustrations, stylized formulas and tables by Peirce The mathematical structure of human thinking and reasoning Some history of Empirical and Rationalist philosophizing and Pragmatic critique of them Chance as a real creative force of Nature To make this invaluable collection a part of your library, hit the "Buy now with 1-click(R)" button now!

This is a study edition of Charles Sanders Peirce's manuscripts for lectures on pragmatism given in spring 1903 at Harvard University. Excerpts from these writings have been published elsewhere but in abbreviated form. Turrisi has edited the manuscripts for publication and has written a series of notes that illuminate the historical, scientific, and philosophical contexts of Peirce's references in the lectures. She has also written a Preface that describes the manner in which the lectures came to be given, including an account of Peirce's life and career pertinent to understanding the philosopher himself. Turrisi's introduction interprets Peirce's brand of pragmatism within his system of logic and philosophy of science as well as within general philosophical principles.

In this book, John W. Woell shows us how contemporary readings of American Pragmatism founded on mistakenly used categories of the Analytic tradition have led to misreadings of Peirce and James. By focusing on terms drawn largely from Descartes and Kant, contemporary debates between metaphysical realists, antirealists, Realists and Nonrealists, have, argues Woell, failed to shed great light on pragmatism in general and a pragmatic philosophy of religion in particular. Woell contends that paying close attention to the internal relationships among inquiry, belief, and their objects in the respective works of Peirce and James provides a means for fully appreciating pragmatism's richness as a resource for philosophy of religion. By taking account of a pragmatic point of view in philosophy of religion, this book incites a more productive discussion of the metaphysical status of religious objects and of the epistemic status of religious belief.

Pragmatic Perspectives in Phenomenology offers a complex analysis of the pragmatic theses that are present in the works of leading phenomenological authors, including not only Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, as it is often the case within Hubert Dreyfus’ tradition, but also Husserl, Levinas, Scheler, and Patocka. Starting from a critical reassessment of existing pragmatic readings which draw especially on Heidegger’s account of Being-in-the-world, the volume’s chapters explore the following themes as possible justifications for speaking about the pragmatic turn in phenomenology: the primacy of the practical over theoretical understanding, criticism of the representationalist account of perception and consciousness, and the analysis of language and truth within the context of social and cultural practices. Having thus analyzed the pragmatic readings of key phenomenological concepts, the book situates these readings in a larger historical and thematic context and introduces themes that until now have been overlooked in debates, including freedom, alterity, transcendence, normativity, distance, and self-knowledge. This volume seeks to refresh the debate about the phenomenological legacy and its relevance for contemporary thought by enlarging the thematic scope of pragmatic motives in phenomenology in new and revealing ways. It will be of interest to advanced students and scholars of phenomenology who are interested in moving beyond the analytic-continental divide to explore the relationship between practice and theory.

Pragmatism William James - The word pragmatism is used everywhere today, from business to sports to politics. Although the word hadn't yet entered everyday language when William James published "Pragmatism" in 1907, the philosopher believed its doctrine had virtually become common sense in twentieth-century America. For James, pragmatism was a specific philosophical alternative to essentialism and foundationalism and argued that ideas are meaningful only insofar as they have practical consequences in concrete human experience; however today pragmatism has come to denote merely a general willingness to compromise principles, even to the point of selfishness or irresponsibility. Written in an engaging and accessible style, "Pragmatism" is a valuable corrective to modern uses of the word, since the voice that speaks in its pages embodies precisely the opposite values from the pejorative semes the word has acquired.
