caros,
há alguns bons meses circulei uns emails em listas de filosofia e logica
para tentar receber indicações bibliográficas a respeito de uma relação
pouco explorada, mas, em minha opinião, seminal entre lógica e ética.
a minha investigação foi motivada em parte por uma frase frequentemente
atribuída a peirce, 'lógica é a ética do pensamento' e em outra parte, por
uma tentativa recorrente minha de pensar a natureza da normatividade da
razão no difícil contexto do pluralismo lógico.
para quem tiver curiosidade, abaixo está uma lista de respostas (muito
boas) que recebi.
acho que, com a devida 'open-mindness' e diligência, elas podem representar
bons pontos de partida para futuros projetos.
abraços,
marcos

Dear Professor Silva,
At the moment at least, I cannot locate any passage where Peirce would have
used exactly the words you cited. That line ("Logic is the ethics of
thinking") is found in T. L. Short’s book on Peirce’s theory of signs, but
I suspect that what you have in mind is a statement that Frank Ramsey
reportedly attributed to Peirce (“logic is the ethics of thinking, in the
sense in which ethics is the bringing to bear of self-control for the
purpose of realizing our desires”). I. A Richards mentions it in a couple
of places, but without providing a source. I has occasionally been repeated
in the literature – attributed to Peirce, but again without citing the
original source.
As far as I can tell, it is a paraphrase rather than a direct quote – but
it is quite possible that the exact phrase can be found in somewhere
Peirce’s vast corpus, much of which has not been published. In any case,
the following quotes (especially the second, from an unpublished
manuscript) capture the sentiment:
· Logic is the theory of self-controlled, or deliberate, thought;
and as such, must appeal to ethics for its principles. It also depends upon
phenomenology and upon mathematics. All thought being performed by means of
signs, logic may be regarded as the science of the general laws of signs.
(Syllabus of a course of Lectures at the Lowell Institute, EP 2:260)
· The purpose and utility of logic […] lies in its final
achievement of a methodeutic for the guidance of thought; and from this
point of view logic is the theory of the self-control of thought in order
to realize its intention, which is truth. So regarded, logic may be called
a special kind of ethics, if by ethics we mean the theory of the
self-control of conduct in order to realize a deliberately adopted purpose.
For inquiry is only a particular kind of conduct. (On Classification of the
Sciences, MS 602:8)
I copied these from the on-line Peirce quotation dictionary that I am
compiling; you will find it here: http://www.commens.org/dictionary.
I hope this is of help.
Kind regards,

Dear Marcus,
This phrase occurs in Husserl's Logical Investigations, vol 1, pg 43. "He
[the logician] aims not at a physics, but an ethics of thinking." The first
three chapters of LI are much concerned with the idea of logic as a
normative science, which be of use for your project.

Hi Marcos
Arthur Prior’s book (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1956) is a good place to
start for relevant reading on the general topic.
All the best,

Dear Marcos,
The exact reference for the sentence you quoted is page 63 of T.L. Short.,
2007. *Peirce's Theory of Signs*. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. As
far as I know, Peirce did not wrote "Logic is the ethics of thinking" but,
to be sure, he conveyed something akin in *The Essential Peirce* Vol 2,
page 42: "For if, as pragmatism teaches us, what we think is to be
interpreted in terms of what we are prepared to do, then surely logic, or
the doctrine of what we ought to think, must be an application of the
doctrine of what we deliberately choose to do, which is Ethics."
Best regards,
Jaime *Alfaro Iglesias*

Dear Marcos,
I received your email to PHILOS-L. I am working on my thesis about reasons
for action. However, naturally these debates take me to questions about
reasons in general too. One paper came to my mind regarding logic. Attached
you may find it. I enjoyed reading it. Hope it be useful.
