Summary/Abstract: Peirce maintained that every scientific investigation is a transition from doubt to belief. Peirce himself received many criticisms claimed that he stresses on psychological states of human mind and denies existing of the objective reality. It isn’t true because Peirce wrote that reality and truth apparently exist. In his works the concepts „true belief“ and „truth“ are both equivalent, but he preffered the first because it is connected with the readyness of an investigator to act. The truth isn’t stand in the end of the process of inquiry but exist only within that process. Pierce’s theory of inquiry do not allow arbitrary belief in any realities.
