DESCRIPTION:
Feibleman has performed a most valuable work in presenting to the public a systematic exposition of Charles Peirce's philosophy. Peirce himself, like Leibniz, gave to the world only fragments of his system, with the result that he has been very thoroughly misunderstood, not least by those who professed to be his admirers.

He has been widely recognized as the father of pragmatism, a precursor of symbolic logic, and a worker in the field of the philosophy of science. In the twenty-four years since this book was first published, interest in the philosophy of Charles S. His scattered papers make a convincing argument that their sole purpose is to perfect an implicit system of philosophy. The second has to do with the system implicit in Peirce's work. Naturally enough, Mr. Peirce has grown considerably. His fault was one of method of presentation, not one of thought. Feibleman's purpose is to make the implicit explicit.. In other words, Peirce had a systematic philosophy which he set down unsystematically. Mr. The first is to offer an introduction to the general philosophy of Peirce.
