A Consideration of Peirce's Realism

This text is a comprehensive presentation of the fundamental nature of Realism in the thought of Charles Sanders Peirce. Peirce assets his preference for Realism, but there is always the question of Idealism, or Objective Idealism, as he names it. The first part deals with a consideration of his professed Realism and, then, enters into the rich and multi-faceted Objective Idealism. Peirce challenges us to question what Reality is, how it is confronted and named, and how law or habit is embedded in the universe. This book helps us understand the writings of Peirce as well as our own position in the universe.
