| Summary |
This book defends an interpretation of Peirce's philosophical work as forming a systematic whole, emphasizing his empiricist epistemology and explaining the roots of his thought in earlier empiricist and common sense philosophers. In particular, the book develops the connections between Peirce, Reid, and the British empiricists, and provides focused analyses of Peirce's accounts of experience, habit, perception, semeiosis, truth, and ultimate ends |
