Reasoning And The Logic Of Things by Charles Sanders Peirce
The Cambridge Conferences Lectures of 1898
Drawn from public lectures, this collection presents a pragmatic method for clarifying concepts and guiding scientific inquiry, distinguishing abduction, deduction, and induction as complementary forms of reasoning; critiques dogmatic and a priori methods of fixing belief in favor of experimental investigation; defends fallibilism and realism; and sketches a semiotic account of thought that emphasizes the communal, self-correcting growth of meaning through experience.
