Peirce’s Logic

Peirce’s logic is a study of formal reasoning focusing on how we represent and analyze ideas through symbols and formal systems. He emphasized the importance of signs (like words or symbols) and how they relate to their meanings or objects, forming a triadic relationship. His work helped develop modern logic, including the logic of quantifiers and the concept of deduction, induction, and abduction. Peirce aimed to create a system that models how humans think and reason, combining philosophy, mathematics, and semiotics (the study of signs) to better understand the structure of logical thought.
