摘要:The aim of this paper is to show the depth to which C. S. Peirce, as a philosopher,was guided by his engagement with history and to clarify pragmatically what historymeans in this connection. This engagement prompted him to do original historicalresearch and also reflect on historiographical practices. This work was truly exemplary.While this topic has hardly been ignored,2 it calls for much fuller exploration than ithas yet received. This is especially true since Peirce’s understanding of history itselfcalls for more careful consideration, far more probing than it has yet received. Asnecessary as it is to explore the place of history in his classification of the sciences,this is not sufficient. This essay is designed to complement studies focusing on theconception of history to be obtained from an exploration of that scheme.
