Charles Peirce: A Journey Through Pragmatic Thought | PhilosophyStudent.org
Показать описание
Get to know Charles Sanders Peirce, the original thinker behind pragmatism. His ideas on how our actions and thoughts connect to practical outcomes reshaped philosophy.
Peirce's work on semiotics laid the groundwork for modern logic and reasoning. Despite facing life's hardships, his intellectual contributions have left a deep impact. Join us as we delve into the life of a man whose search for truth led to the birth of pragmatism.
✅Biography of Charles Sanders Peirce
Although William James is most commonly associated with the philosophical school
known as Pragmatism, its earliest apostle was Charles Sanders Peirce, who was
James’s good friend and intellectual influence. The third exponent of Pragmatism, John
Dewey was Peirce’s student.
As developed by all three philosophers, Pragmatism defines the meaning of any
concept in terms of the concept’s practical outcomes. Thus, any concept is meaningful
only insofar as it has an experiential effect on us—on our actions, conduct, or
intellectual inquiries. Peirce applied this to the scientific method, concluding that it
was the only valid means of attaining truth in human progress toward knowledge.
In 1859, Peirce managed to graduate from Harvard College, a lowly 79th out of a
class of 90. He went to work for the United States Coast Survey and then, encouraged
by his father, enrolled in the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard, earning a
bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1863. While he made some contributions to science, he was not by temperament a scientist but was far more interested in logic and method.
Peirce gave a successful series of Harvard lectures on British logicians in 1869, but
his personality clashed with that of the university president, Charles W. Eliot, who
rejected his 1871 application to teach philosophy.
Nevertheless, he wrote innovative essays, including “On a New List of Categories” (1867) and several epistemological articles, all published in the Journal of Speculative Philosophy from 1868-1869. These impressed a small group of philosophers, William James among them.
His marriage had divorced the year before, and his bread-and-butter position at the Coast Survey could have been better.
