The Heritage of The Metaphysical Club: The Pragmatism of Charles Sanders Peirce

Summary/Abstract: Pragmatism as a philosophical movement/branch of philosophy is usually on the margins of interest within European (continental) philosophy. It is most commonly interpreted in general terms concerning its overriding principle of the usefulness and consequences of ideas and is referred to as an anti-metaphysical and simplistic understanding of philosophy. Also, for some representatives, given the breadth of their education and occupation, major scientific contributions are related to other fields. With William James, it is psychology, and with John Dewey, it is pedagogy. Completely in the margins remains the work of Charles Sanders Peirce. This paper aims to show that the reasons for neglecting Peirce's work are largely conditioned by the context in which his philosophy originates. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the following topics: the development of American philosophy and the emergence of pragmatism, the key determinations of pragmatism in Peirce`s writings, the basic differences between radical empiricism, pragmaticism, and instrumentalism.
