| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | This book offers a clear and thorough explanation of Peirce's philosophy, presenting it as a systematic response to 'nominalism,' a philosophy he strongly opposed and saw as the foundation of the dominant philosophical worldview of his era. It outlines Peirce's critique of nominalism as a theory of meaning and explores its implications for his views on knowledge, truth, reality, and ethics. Essential reading for both Peirce scholars and newcomers to his work, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to his thought. |
