Charles Peirce's Pragmatic Pluralism

Booknews

This work runs counter to the traditional interpretations of Peirce's philosophy by weaving his various doctrines into a systematic pattern of pluralism, giving a different slant on his understanding of convergence. Focusing frequently on passages from his writings that have been largely ignored in most other interpretations, Rosenthal (philosophy, Loyola U.) shows the way Peirce's position, far from being opposed to the Kuhnian interpretation of science, provides strong metaphysical and epistemic underpinnings for it.
