Publisher Description

Abstract This review essay discusses Shepperson's article in terms of Peirce's pragmaticism, a logical theory that interprets thought in terms of operation and control. Peirce's central proposition is that there is an inseparable connection between rational cognition and rational purpose. In his view, the function of thinking is to produce habits of action. Most importantly, perhaps, for him the rational meaning of every proposition lies in the future--the ultimate test of what truth means. (1)
