The Essential Peirce

"The Essential Peirce" refers to a collection of writings by Charles Sanders Peirce, an influential American philosopher and logician. His work laid the foundation for pragmatism, a philosophy that emphasizes the practical implications of ideas and the importance of real-world consequences in understanding truth. Peirce also contributed to semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. This collection highlights his key ideas, focusing on concepts like inquiry, belief, and the interplay between knowledge and experience, making it essential for those interested in philosophy, logic, and the development of modern thought.
