Haack's excerpt of Peirce begins below at the words " But at present ...," and continues with some ellipses.

William James ( 1907 ) begins his chapter on " Pragmatism's Conception of Truth " in much the same letter and spirit as the above selection from Peirce ( 1906 ), noting the nominal definition of truth as a plausible point of departure, but immediately observing that the pragmatist's quest for the meaning of truth can only begin, not end there.

That employment exempted Peirce from having to take part in the Civil War ; it would have been very awkward for him to do so, as the Boston Brahmin Peirces sympathized with the Confederacy.

In 1879, Peirce was appointed Lecturer in logic at the new Johns Hopkins University, which was strong in a number of areas that interested him, such as philosophy ( Royce and Dewey did their PhDs at Hopkins ), psychology ( taught by G. Stanley Hall and studied by Joseph Jastrow, who coauthored a landmark empirical study with Peirce ), and mathematics ( taught by J. J. Sylvester, who came to admire Peirce's work on mathematics and logic ).

That year, Newcomb pointed out to a Johns Hopkins trustee that Peirce, while a Hopkins employee, had lived and traveled with a woman to whom he was not married ; the ensuing scandal led to his dismissal in January 1884.

Cambridge, where Peirce was born and raised, New York City, where he often visited and sometimes lived, and Milford, where he spent the later years of his life with his second wife Juliette.

Peirce did some scientific and engineering consulting and wrote much for meager pay, mainly encyclopedic dictionary entries, and reviews for The Nation ( with whose editor, Wendell Phillips Garrison, he became friendly ).

His imposing contemporaries William James and Josiah Royce admired him, and Cassius Jackson Keyser at Columbia and C. K. Ogden wrote about Peirce with respect, but to no immediate effect.

John Dewey studied under Peirce at Johns Hopkins and, from 1916 onwards, Dewey's writings repeatedly mention Peirce with deference.

Associated with the pragmatists, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and especially John Dewey, pragmatic ethics holds that moral correctness evolves similarly to scientific knowledge: socially over the course of many lifetimes.

Nonetheless, decades later, in Cinéma I and Cinema II ( 1983 – 1985 ), the philosopher Gilles Deleuze took Matter and Memory as the basis of his philosophy of film and revisited Bergson's concepts, combining them with the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce.

After studying with George Sylvester Morris, Charles Sanders Peirce, Herbert Baxter Adams, and G. Stanley Hall, Dewey received his Ph. D. from the School of Arts & Sciences at Johns Hopkins University.

The modern rigorous and systematic treatment of the principle came only in the 19th century, with George Boole, Augustus de Morgan, Charles Sanders Peirce ,< ref >

Although James certainly agreed with Peirce and against Berkeley that general ideas exist as a psychological fact, he was a nominalist in his ontology:

A later propensity theory was proposed by philosopher Karl Popper, who had only slight acquaintance with the writings of C. S. Peirce, however.

A postmodernism that lives up to its name, therefore, must no longer confine itself to the premodern preoccupation with " things " nor with the modern confinement to " ideas ," but must come to terms with the way of signs embodied in the semiotic doctrines of such thinkers as the Portuguese philosopher John Poinsot and the American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce.

* Semiotics according to Robert Marty, with 76 definitions of the sign by C. S. Peirce

Peirce defines truth as follows: " Truth is that concordance of an abstract statement with the ideal limit towards which endless investigation would tend to bring scientific belief, which concordance the abstract statement may possess by virtue of the confession of its inaccuracy and one-sidedness, and this confession is an essential ingredient of truth.

Augustus De Morgan had worked on the logic of relations, and Charles Sanders Peirce integrated his work with Boole's during the 1870s.

Spade attempts to explain himself to Brigid O ' Shaughnessy with the Flitcraft parable, in which Hammett makes an oblique reference to the philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce, but O ' Shaughnessy has no idea what he is getting at.

, rights to the novel were held by Universal Pictures, with director Kimberly Peirce attached to the current project.

* In 2011, MGM and Screen Gems gained rights to make a new film version with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's hand at the screenplay, and directed by Kimberly Peirce, known for her work on Boys Don't Cry.

Before 1900, Peirce treated abduction as the use of a known rule to explain an observation, e. g., it is a known rule that if it rains the grass is wet ; so, to explain the fact that the grass is wet ; one infers that it has rained.

Peirce consistently characterized it as the kind of inference that originates a hypothesis by concluding in an explanation, though an unassured one, for some very curious or surprising ( anomalous ) observation stated in a premise.

Some of the pragmatic theories, such as those by Charles Peirce and William James, included aspects of correspondence, coherence and constructivist theories.

Peirce emphasized that a supposition of reality and truth seems to be the only way to explain scientific progress and to justify the scientific practice of seeking explanations of regularities in better theories.

Most notably, it is influenced by the pragmatism of Charles Sanders Peirce and his notion of abductive reasoning, the falsificationism of Karl Popper and the management theories of Chris Argyris and James March.

Roberta Kevelson ( November 4, 1931 – November 28, 1998 ) was a semiotician and an important authority on the pragmatism theories of Charles Sanders Peirce.

In this connection it is synonymous with Tychism ( τύχη, chance ), a term used by Charles Sanders Peirce for the theories which make chance an objective factor in the process of the Universe.

Peirce took years to write reports that he should have completed in months.

Scholars who have talked about semiosis in their sub-theories of semiotics include C. S. Peirce, John Deely, and Umberto Eco.

The first use in print of the name pragmatism appears to have been in 1898 by James, who credited Peirce with having coined the name during the early 1870s.

( Peirce held that one cannot have absolute theoretical assurance of having actually reached the truth, and later said that the confession of inaccuracy and one-sidedness is an essential ingredient of a true abstract statement.

* ( Charles Sanders Peirce and Karl Popper have strikingly similar views on the propensity theory of probability and philosophy of science.

In particular, Daniel Coit Gilman, president of Johns Hopkins University, is alleged to have been on the point of awarding tenure to C. S. Peirce, before Newcomb intervened behind the scenes to dissuade him.

He is a major figure in the history of mathematical logic ( a term he may have invented ), by virtue of summarizing and extending the work of George Boole, Augustus De Morgan, Hugh MacColl, and especially Charles Peirce.

Peirce of “ agapasm ,” or “ evolutionary love .” Royce believed that human beings do have experience of the Absolute in the irrevocability of each and every deed we do.

Some have claimed that Peirce also supervised Royce's Ph. D., but that is impossible as Peirce arrived at Johns Hopkins in 1879.

Kenneth Turan of The Los Angeles Times praised the lack of romanticization and dramatization of the characters and reported that " Peirce and Bienen and the expert cast engage us in the actuality of these rootless, hopeless, stoned-out lives without sentimentalizing or romanticizing them " and said that " Boys Don't Cry is an exceptional — and exceptionally disturbing film ", while Mike Clarke of USA Today commended Peirce's depth of knowledge of the case and the subject matter: " Peirce seems to have researched her subject with grad-school-thesis intensity ".

“ In these projections ,” writes Kathleen MacQueen, “ the artist alternates between symbolic, iconic, and indexical images – the principal relations an image can have to its subject, according to the writings of Charles Sanders Peirce – that is, predicated on a cultural reference, a physical resemblance, or a physical relation respectively.

After a few more Union attacks were thwarted, Peirce decided further attacks would have been futile so he ordered the Union forces to retire from the field and returned to their bases.

Synechism ( from Greek συνεχής synechḗs, " continuous " +-ism, from σύν syn, " together " + ἔχειν échein >, " to have ", " to hold "), a philosophical term proposed by C. S. Peirce to express the tendency to regard things such as space, time, and law as continuous:

Shapiro and Andrews have especially made connections between the semiotic of C. S. Peirce and markedness, treating it as “ as species of interpretant ” in Peirce ’ s sign-object-interpretant triad.

Nevertheless, the 100-year head start on non-demonstrative logical calculi, due to George Boole, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Gottlob Frege was being closed: both demonstrative and non-demonstrative reasoning now have formal calculi.

She is famous for uncovering the Brandon Teena story, and her Village Voice article on the subject was said by director Kimberly Peirce to have been the original inspiration for the film " Boys Don't Cry.

Of her defence of Muslim suspects accused of terrorism, Peirce has said: We have lost our way in this country.
