Furthermore, I shall extrapolate rather freely from Peirce's statements — and to such an extent that I should acknowledge that the result may not resemble Peirce as he is ordinarily interpreted.

More than this, he was sensitive to the fact that the writing of philosophy's history can be at once technically competent and narrow He praised the «philosophical greatness achieved in American philosophy, from Peirce to Santayana, but he complained of the cultural chauvinism in failing to recognize it.5 According to Hartshorne, «One might about as easily reach great heights in philosophy without benefit of the work done in modern America as to reach them in physics without using the work of modern Germans» (Creativity 11).

As W. P. Montague saw so clearly (with no doubt some help from Peirce and Bergson), becoming as sheer growth, increase without loss, is the concrete reality and the secret of both being and becoming.

From Peirce's claim that we can make our ideas clear by considering their conceivable practical effects, to James's notion of truth's cash value in experiential terms, to Dewey's own view of the practical character of reality, the message seems to be that philosophy has more to offer than a therapeutic stance toward social issues and a rhetorical presentation of new suggestions.

Not exact matches

In the preface to Creative Synthesis and Philosophic Method, Hartshorne celebrates «our English inheritance of critical caution and concern for clarity»; he seeks to learn more from Leibniz, «the most lucid metaphysician in the early modern period,» as well as from Bergson, Peirce, James, Dewey, and Whitehead, «five philosophers of process of great genius and immense knowledge of the intellectual and spiritual resources of this century.

For Bergson, like many process thinkers (Peirce, James and Dewey come particularly to mind), the entire concept of «necessity» only makes sense when applied internally to abstractions the intellect has already devised.11 Of course, one can tell an evolutionary story about how the human intellect came to be a separable function of consciousness that emphasizes abstraction (indeed, that is what Bergson does in Creative Evolution), but if one were to say that the course of development described in that story had to occur (i.e., necessarily) as it did, then one would be very far from Bergson's view (CE 218, 236, 270).

In this respect Peirce's agape is inseparable from eros with respect to the goal or final end to be reached by love.

The pattern of development from the limited to a goal that is unbounded and envisaged in an infinite future also can be seen in Peirce's rejection, in «Some Consequences of Four Incapacities,» of Cartesian philosophy, particularly in his opposition to what he took to be the standard of subjectivity (5.263 - 317).

Let me digress for a moment from the main course of the discussion to observe that this last point must be kept in mind as an answer to a possible objection to Peirce's account.

Although Peirce does insist that there is divergence from law and increasing variety in the world, and that at no time in the finite future will there be no aberrancy from law (6.91), he also insists that growth is continually expanding into law and that if we were to reach a point in the infinitely distant future, we would have reached a state of no indeterminacy or chance but a complete reign of law (6.33).

It is important to emphasize that the creative love which Peirce identifies is different from eros.

In the final analysis, then, Peirce is committed to a fundamental continuity to which are subjected all departures from law, and all leaps from the established to what is novel.

Synechism, Peirce's fundamental «regulative principle of logic,» requires the ideal removal of novelty from the world (6.173).

In Hartshorne's view, following Peirce, metaphysics is not a game to be played from the sidelines where one's own metaphysical commitments (or hunches) go unquestioned.

Now, what is important here is that the pattern of development from the finite to the infinite as Peirce defines it can be accounted for by the notion of agape.

It seems to me that both Bergson and Peirce had the insight that the cosmos, including human languages, does involve evolution from past to future that expands reality.

This, I think, distinguishes them from Cartesian intuitions, which were rejected by both Bergson and Peirce.

Two decades ago, Peirce Teilhard de Chardin observed: «The prevailing view has been that the body... is a fragment of the Universe, a piece completely detached from the rest and handed over to a spirit that informs it.

I first got that idea from reading Peirce.

Peirce distinguished psychics from physics by attributing to the former but not the latter the admission of final causes.

Whitehead's rejection of the nearly universal assumption of the continuity of experiencing, his notion of unitary or quantum instances of prehending, is an important part of his achievement, distinguishing it from the views of Peirce or Bergson.

Compiling representative anthologies of process philosophical writing, Douglas Browning in 1965 (POP) and J. R. Sibley and P. A. Y. Gunter in 1978 (PPBW) include Bergson, selections from the later evolutionary cosmology of C. S. Peirce, Samuel Alexander, and C. Lloyd Morgan along with Whitehead and several American pragmatists as constituting the main «process philosophers.»

Whitehead is as «post-evolutionary» in his thought as were the pragmatists, for example, in theirs.18 That is to say, Whitehead, James, Peirce, and Dewey all presuppose some concept of evolutionary development in their philosophies; indeed, their respective styles of philosophizing would have been inconceivable apart from the prior development of evolutionist theories.

From these remarks, it would seem that fallibilism is the regulative principle that no hypothesis should be regarded as absolutely determinate and certain, while the doctrine of continuity, or «synechism,» as Peirce usually called it, is the corresponding constitutive principle that the things constituting reality are never absolutely determinate and discrete.

Thompson may be right, and I believe he is, that Peirce had other reasons or inclinations (including an influence of Kant) supporting his conclusion; but it is demonstrable from his own language in praise of the wonders of continuity that he did have this reason.

In his later writings (1905 and afterwards) Peirce sometimes referred to his own position as «pragmaticism» to distinguish it from what James and others were calling «pragmatism.»

Some more recent supporters of panentheism, for whom God both contributes to and receives from the world, are Shelling, Fechner, Peirce, Berdyaev, Iqbal, Buber, Radhakrishnan, Whitehead, Hartshorne, Weiss, Ogden, Cobb, Griffin, Haught, Suchocki, McDaniel and others.

With this concept Peirce could account for definite singular terms in general, though he could not with his «pragmaticistic «7 theory of meaning distinguish one such term from another as he could distinguish one general term from another.

Unlike Peirce and Whitehead, Hartshorne's central interests from the first centered on metaphysical questions and especially on the understanding of God.

To establish his third point Peirce invokes the pragmatic shift of concern from origins to consequences and argues that knowledge is justified not because it has an absolute foundation but because it is a self - correcting enterprise which can put any claim in jeopardy though not all at once.
