C. S. Peirce's writings

Charles Sanders Peirce was a philosopher and scientist who explored how we think, learn, and communicate. He developed ideas about logic, reasoning, and the scientific method, emphasizing that understanding is a process of making and testing hypotheses. Peirce introduced the concept of "semiotics," the study of signs and symbols, explaining how meaning is conveyed. He believed that inquiry is a continuous process driven by doubt and inquiry, aiming to resolve uncertainties. His work laid groundwork for modern logic, philosophy, and the philosophy of science, emphasizing that knowledge evolves through systematic investigation and critical thinking.
