Peircean Themes Critique of Cartesianism- illusory to claim that one can simultaneously doubt everything and then establish some truth.

Charles S. Peirce Quest for apodictic certainty only leads to enervating skepticism. Isolated knower-mistakenly presumes to be in possession of absolute truth.

Charles S. Peirce Anti-Foundationalism- shift from self-certifying intuitions to self- correcting methods and from origin to outcomes. Metaphor of maps

Charles S. Peirce Human consciousness is semiotic consciousness- cannot think without signs. Habit-incarnate signs- tendencies of things.

Charles S. Peirce Norms of objective inquiry are inherent in the practices in which they operate.- Immanent in practice and govern practice.

Charles S. Peirce “Objectivity”- what humans, equipped with certain organic capacities & trained with certain intellectual disciplines, can experience.

Charles S. Peirce Scholastic realism- three irreducible modes of being: possibility, actuality, and generality. “The general is real.”

Charles S. Peirce Tychism- 1. Some occurrences are really random. 2. Nature is not wholly predictable even in principle. Chance is an objective feature of the natural world.

Charles S. Peirce Syncheism- Continuity and connectedness are primordial & irreducible feature of nature. One starts with continua or fields such as space-time.

Charles S. Peirce Evolutionism and Agapism- dynamic tendencies toward integration. There is evolution toward greater complexity and harmony.

Charles S. Peirce Critical Commonsenism- the massive stock of our common sense beliefs makes critical inquiry possible.

Charles S. Peirce Phenomenological recovery of everyday experience- imaginative, forming, testing, revising, rejecting hypotheses provides inexhaustible resources for philosophical reflection.

Charles S. Peirce Concepts (categories) designed to grasp phenomena & guide and goad inquiry. Firstness, secondness & thirdness.
