Peirce's diagrammatic method

Peirce's diagrammatic method is a technique for understanding and analyzing logical relationships using visual diagrams. Instead of relying solely on symbolic notation, it employs shapes, lines, and arrangements to represent logical ideas and connections. This visual approach helps clarify complex logical structures by making them easier to see and interpret. Peirce believed diagrams can enhance reasoning by providing an intuitive way to explore how different ideas relate to each other, facilitating clearer thinking and problem-solving in logic, mathematics, and philosophy.
