The “pragmatic maxim”, also known as the “maxim of pragmatism” or the “maxim of pragmaticism”, is a maxim of logic formulated by Charles Sanders Peirce. Serving as a practical recommendation or regulative principle in the normative science of logic, its function is to guide the conduct of thought toward the achievement of its purpose, advising the addressee on an optimal way of “attaining clearness of apprehension”.

The pragmatic maxim is a guideline for the practice of inquiry formulated by Charles Sanders Peirce. Serving as a practical recommendation or regulative principle in the normative science of logic, its function is to guide the conduct of thought toward the achievement of its purpose, advising the addressee on an optimal way of “attaining clearness of apprehension”.

Yes, another version of #CSPeirce’s triad is #WRAshby’s distinction between #Machine (object, observed phenomenon), #System (a finite set of variables and their relationships selected by the #Observer), and the #Model created by the observer to describe or/and #Control the machine.

However, I was speaking about the different phenomena (machines) and their controllability.
Mere #Physical (static or dynamic) #Structures driven by known (discoverable, invariant) #NaturalLaws as opposed to emergent #DynamicalSystems that are under the influence of arbitrary, local #Rules as explained by #HHPattee.

In this new post for the Erraticus Blog, Jon Alan Schmidt was gracious enough to take some time challenging @ironick17 and me on our views of truth and the great chasm that exists between #CSPeirce and #williamjames. #pragmatism #philosophy

@algersanpin @philosophy "abduction", also know as "retroduction" .... or as the way our knowledge progresses from a prior "what we believe we know" through a scientific process and logic to a posterior "what we believe we know".

I'm curious if the author's take on #pragmatism is in the spirit of #CSPeirce #pragmaticism

@terrygrundy @russokrauss #epistemology and #metascience are blind without the #sociology and #phenomenology of #inquiry.

#CategoryTheory meets #CSPeirce 's notion of Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness.

@emilyherring I would have answered C.S. Peirce #cspeirce

In my job I often work with people who believe that words and their relations can define the real world with an #ontology. Most of them never realize that they believe in 18th century German Enlightenment philosophy (i.e., #Wolff) - and bad #metaphysics.

#SusanHaack has introduced scores of people to #CSPeirce #Pragmatism - which, in my book, is the only way to formally justify a belief in a #truth, the foundation of #logic. The following paper is a really good read.

The work of Charles Sanders #Peirce is a rich resource for those who want to understand how gaining scientific or technological knowledge really works. But there is so much more to discover! #cspeirce
