Description
Book SynopsisConversations on Peirce provides a loosely related set of essays dealing with the philosophy of American pragmatist Charles Peirce that developed out of conversations between the authors over the last decade. The essays deal generally with the ways in which Peirce was both a realist and an idealist. Several of the essays also explore the consequences of these ideas in Peirce’s thought.
Trade Review"This collection of essays on the philosophy of C.S. Peirce is both delightfully rich and provocatively open. Anderson and Hausman combine their reflection and writing efficiently and elegantly in three sections." -Choice "An excellent collection of essays on Peirce's metaphysics and his theory of inquiry, conceived in the spirit of a conversation between fellow travellers. This book will appeal to the budding Peirce scholar as well as to the seasoned specialist." -- -Cornelis de Waal Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis
