Charles Peirce and Modern Science
«'T. L. Short's book is an enormously important contribution to Peirce scholarship that masterfully weaves together many different strands from Peirce's writings to present a rich, detailed, and tightly argued account of his view of science, his work as a scientist, and how that view and that work informed, motivated, and nourished his philosophy. Even the most knowledgeable Peirce scholars will come away from Short's book with a deeper understanding of familiar ideas and doctrines–like Peirce's pragmatism, realism, phenomenology, view of the normative sciences, etc.–and how they relate to each other and to Peirce's life as a working scientist.' Robert Lane, University of West Georgia»
In this book, T. L. Short places the notorious difficulties of Peirce's important writings in a more productive light, arguing that he wrote philosophy as a scientist, by framing conjectures intended to be refined or superseded in the inquiries they initiate. Les mer
