The Peirce’s modal shift: pragmaticism and real possibility
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
The central purpose in this paper is to demonstrate the fundamental role of the notion of possibility in the consolidation and formulation of Pragmaticism. Pragmaticism is undeniably an attempt by Peirce to establish the specific differences in his conception of pragmatism and an attempt to offer an adequate interpretation of his initial formulation of the pragmatic maxim. However, the attempts made by Peirce to portray his conception of pragmatic and its reformulations and interpretations of the pragmatic maxim were developed over a period of more than four decades, showing a series of variations. I will try to offer evidence that allows for a broader understanding of “Peirce’s modal shift”, in order to show the manner in which the notion of real possibility, as developed by Peirce, produced a transformation in his modal conception and how the change is reflected in his definitive formulation of pragmaticism.
