Waal, Cornelis De & Krzysztof Piotr Skowronski (eds.) - The normative thought of Charles S. Peirce.

Title: The normative thought of Charles S. Peirce.
Description: New York : Fordham University Press, 2012. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xviii, 321 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - This volume explores the three normative sciences that Peirce distinguished (aesthetics, ethics, and logic) and their relation to phenomenology and metaphysics. The essays approach this topic from a variety of angles, ranging from questions concerning the normativity of logic to an application of Peirce's semiotics to John Coltrane's A Love Supreme. A recurrent question throughout is whether a moral theory can be grounded in Peirce's work, despite his rather vehement denial that this can be done. Some essays ask whether a dichotomy exists between theoretical and practical ethics. Other essays show that Peirce's philosophy embraces meliorism, examine the role played by self-control, seek to ground communication theory in Peirce's speculative rhetoric, or examine the normative aspect of the notion of truth. Proceedings of a conference held June 26-30, 2007 at Opole University, Poland. ISBN 9780823242443.
