The book "Charles Sanders Peirce" offers a comprehensive introduction to the ideas of the American philosopher and pragmatist Charles Sanders Peirce. Born in 1839 and died in 1914, Peirce is considered one of the most influential thinkers of his time, whose works often received recognition only posthumously. This academic book first highlights his life journey, followed by a detailed explanation of pragmatism, which states that the understanding of a concept can only be fully grasped through knowledge of its practical implications. The author, David Plowright, explains various central ideas of Peirce, based on his pragmatic maxim, and demonstrates their relevance to education and everyday thinking. The book is written clearly and accessibly, using numerous examples to illustrate Peirce's complex and challenging concepts.
