Description
Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is widely regarded as one of America's greatest philosophers. This comprehensive introduction to his thought explores Peirce's life, work and key concepts in logic, science, pragmatism, truth, semiotics and metaphysics. The book provides a detailed overview of Peirce's philosophical ideas, including his accounts of pragmatism and truth, as well as his foundational work on formal and graphical logic. It also examines the development of these theories over time and their influence on later philosophers such as John Dewey and Richard Rorty. Suitable for those new to Peirce's philosophy, this book includes summaries of each chapter, suggestions for further reading and a glossary, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to understand his complex and influential ideas.
