    Extractions: "Primarily interested in mathematics and scientific methods, Peirce's objective was to combine philosophical and societal reasoning with scientific thinking. He proposed that human comprehension of reality was becoming greater with each passing year and in answer, strove to develop a principal that would act as a guide for fellow scientists and mathematicians. His principal was that the meaning of any conception of the mind, was the practical effect that it would have in action. He believed that the only rational way to increase knowledge was to form mental habits that would test ideas through experimental inquiries or observations".

É considerato il fondatore e il primo teorizzatore del pragmatismo . Nella carriera accademica incontrò l'ostilità della cultura ufficiale per il carattere estremamente nuovo e anticipatore di molte sue teorie, che non trovarono, lui vivente, un editore. La prima formulazione delle tesi fondamentali del suo sistema apparve in due articoli del 1877-78 sulla rivista Popular Science Monthly (Come si fissano le credenze e Come rendere chiare le nostre idee), dove il motivo conduttore è la ricerca del "senso" delle nostre idee che va visto nell'esperienza (abbandonando quindi ogni conoscenza di tipo aprioristico o metafisico): ma questo non nel senso dell' empirismo Schiller , preferì mutare il nome della sua filosofia, definendola pragmaticismo, e volle mantenere strettamente unite azione e conoscenza, proprio perché il senso e il significato di una teoria consistente nel complesso delle credenze e degli interessi non si riducesse pura molla per l'azione ma costituisse con essa un tutto unico. Interessanti e strettamente collegati alla sua teoria della conoscenza, gli apporti dati dal Peirce alla logica, e particolarmente alla semiotica o teoria del significato, con la sua teoria del segno come elemento che interpreta e rappresenta il suo oggetto e l'idea che se ne possiede.

    Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) was the founder of American pragmatism (later called by Peirce "pragmaticism"), an extender of the Scotistic theory of signs (called by Peirce "semeiotic"), an extraordinarily prolific logician and mathematician, and a developer of an evolutionary, psycho-physically monistic metaphysical system. A practicing chemist and geodesist by profession, he nevertheless considered scientific philosophy, and especially logic, to be his vocation. In the course of his polymathic researches, he wrote on a wide range of topics, ranging from mathematical logic to psychology. Charles Sanders Peirce was born on September 10, 1839 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and died on April 19, 1914 in Milford, Pennsylvania. His writings extend from about 1857 until near his death, a period of approximately 57 years. His published works run to about 12,000 printed pages and his known unpublished manuscripts run to about 80,000 handwritten pages. The topics on which he wrote have an immense range, from mathematics and the hard sciences at one extreme, to economics, psychology, anthroplogy, history of science, and the theory of signs, at the other extreme.

30. Encéphi: Peirce
    Essay from Encephi, by Robert Tremblay (in French).  
    http://www.cvm.qc.ca/encephi/contenu/philoso/peirce.htm
    
    Extractions: par Raymond-Robert Tremblay , du cégep du Vieux Montréal Sa vie Né en 1839, Charles S. Peirce est aujourd'hui considéré comme le plus grand philosophe américain de tous les temps. Ce n'était pourtant pas le cas de son vivant, puisqu'il mena une vie d'exclu et n'obtint jamais de poste d'enseignant dans une université. D'abord logicien, bien sûr philosophe, mais aussi chimiste et géologue, Peirce est considéré comme le fondateur de la sémiotique (étude de la communication par signes). Il est le créateur de la philosophie pragmatiste et un innovateur reconnu en logique où il inventa la logique des relations et de la quantification (indépendamment de Frege). Comment peut-on alors expliquer son infortune sociale ? Son oeuvre immense (des centaines de milliers de pages manuscrites) fut peu éditée de son vivant et resta longtemps méconnue. Il ne réussit jamais à compléter la synthèse de sa philosophie qu'il voulait rédiger. Il mourut dans l'indifférence presque générale à Milford en 1914. Le pragmatisme Entrons dans le vif du sujet. La maxime pragmatiste se formule ainsi: "Considérer quels sont les effets pratiques que nous pensons pouvoir être produits par l'objet de notre conception. La conception de tous ces effets est la conception complète de l'objet". ("Comment rendre nos idées claires", #15) Le pragmatisme est d'abord une philosophie de la signification. Une conception quelconque se définit par l'ensemble de ses effets pratiques. Si deux conceptions aux noms différents comportent les mêmes effets pratiques, alors elles ne forment qu'une seule et même conception. Par contre, si deux conceptions partagent un même nom, mais impliquent des effets différents, nous avons deux conceptions différentes.

    Extractions: Popular Science Monthly 12 (November 1877), 1-15. I Few persons care to study logic, because everybody conceives himself to be proficient enough in the art of reasoning already. But I observe that this satisfaction is limited to one's own ratiocination, and does not extend to that of other men. We come to the full possession of our power of drawing inferences, the last of all our faculties; for it is not so much a natural gift as a long and difficult art. The history of its practice would make a grand subject for a book. The medieval schoolman, following the Romans, made logic the earliest of a boy's studies after grammar, as being very easy. So it was as they understood it. Its fundamental principle, according to them, was, that all knowledge rests either on authority or reason; but that whatever is deduced by reason depends ultimately on a premiss derived from authority. Accordingly, as soon as a boy was perfect in the syllogistic procedure, his intellectual kit of tools was held to be complete. To Roger Bacon, that remarkable mind who in the middle of the thirteenth century was almost a scientific man, the schoolmen's conception of reasoning appeared only an obstacle to truth. He saw that experience alone teaches anything a proposition which to us seems easy to understand, because a distinct conception of experience has been handed down to us from former generations; which to him likewise seemed perfectly clear, because its difficulties had not yet unfolded themselves. Of all kinds of experience, the best, he thought, was interior illumination, which teaches many things about Nature which the external senses could never discover, such as the transubstantiation of bread.

    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/peirce-logic/
    
    Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Charles Peirce's contributions to logical theory are numerous and profound. His work on relations building on ideas of De Morgan influenced Schroder, and through Schroder, Peano, Russell, Lowenheim and much of contemporary logical theory. Although Frege anticipated much of Peirce's work on relations and quantification theory, and to some extent developed it to a greater extent, Frege's work remained out of the mainstream until the twentieth century. Thus it is plausible that Peirce's influence on the development of logic has been of the same order as Frege's. Further discussion of Peirce's influence can be found in Dipert (1995). In contrast to Frege's highly systematic and thoroughly developed work in logic, Peirce's work remains fragmentary and extensive, rich with profound ideas but most of them left in a rough and incomplete form. Three of the Peirce's contributions to logic that are not as well-known as others are described below:

36. Peirce_Charles
    Biography from the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive.  
    http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Peirce_Charles.html
    
    Extractions: Version for printing Charles S Peirce was the son of Benjamin Peirce and Sarah Hunt Mills, the daughter of Senator Elijah Hunt Mills. We note that this surname is pronounced "Purse". Charles was the second of his parents five children. His older brother was James Mills Peirce who became a mathematician in the Mathematics Department at Harvard, and then from 1890 to 1895 served as Dean of the Graduate School at Harvard and, after that, as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Charles' two younger brothers also enjoyed successful careers, Benjamin Mills Peirce as a mining engineer and Herbert Henry Davis Peirce as a diplomat. Charles was born into a leading American household. His father was perhaps the leading scientist in America and he invited academics, politicians, poets, scientists, and mathematicians into his home. A child prodigy, Charles thrived in the intellectual atmosphere. Benjamin Peirce found it difficult to find students who were bright enough to benefit from his teaching, but in his own children he found the talent that seemed to be lacking elsewhere. He used his own educational ideas in teaching Charles and his other children, and in many ways this did set them up to undertake research. However, realising that the greatest thinkers enjoyed an independence of thought, he refused to discipline his children in case he destroyed this originality. In many ways this upbringing produced the genius that Charles displayed but it also gave Charles problems of fitting in, which meant that his life was a difficult one. By the age of twelve Charles was reading standard university level texts on logic, and in the following year he began reading Immanuel Kant's

38. Peirce And Philo
    Discusses charles peirce's account of conditionals, hypotheticals, and what he takes from Cicero's account of the debate between Philo and Diodorus.  
    http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/jzeman/peirce_and_philo.htm
    
    Extractions: Peirce and Philo Jay Zeman Charles Peirce, logician and philosopher, contributed notably to the theory of the conditional. Actually, from his perspective and in his terminology it is better, as we shall see, to link his work on the conditional with his discussions of the hypothetical proposition. Peirce spoke often of the consequentia de inesse the concept of which is intimately linked with the material, or "Philonian" conditional; indeed, we shall see him calling himself a Philonian. And it is not uncommon to hear Peirce—at least prior to the last decade of his life—declared a Philonian, whose fundamental analysis of the conditional was essentially the same as that of Philo (and of more modern types like Russell and like Quine). In this paper, I intend first to examine Peirce’s understanding of "Philonian"; I will then look at the Philonian or " de inesse " conditional in the context of his overall logical thought. It is commonly held that Peirce in his early years held to the "nominalistic" Philonian conditional, and only later "surrendered" it in favor of a more "realistic" view; the study we are here undertaking will indicate that this does not adequately reflect his position. As we shall see, Peirce at one time or another called himself a Philonian. He was, of course, also quite aware that Philo is historically paired with his teacher Diodorus. That pairing, in fact, is so integral to the meaning of "Philonian" that without consideration of it, "Philonian conditional" becomes a somewhat pretentious term for "truth-functional implication,"

    Extractions: Charles Sanders Peirce, pronounced "purse" (1839-1914), the founder of pragmatism and a pioneering theorist of Semiotics , was one of America's most important and most original philosophers. His scope and range are perhaps wider than that of any philosopher since Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. He made fundamental contributions to probability theory, symbolic logic, the philosophy of science, mathematics, and semiotics, while publishing numerous papers on astronomy, physics, chemistry, and scientific method. Peirce generally described himself as an experimentalist and a "logician," a term that expanded in scope from his earliest papers to encompass virtually the whole enterprise of organized thought and inquiry. Despite being frequently recommended for university appointments, Peirce served only as a part-time lecturer in logic at Johns Hopkins University from 1879 to 1884 and for three years as a special lecturer in the philosophy of science at Harvard. Although he was a prolific writer, only two books appeared during his lifetime: Photometric Researches (1878), which established him as one of the leading astrophysicists of his day, and
