Peircers,
For ease of reference, here is a copy of the passage I mentioned:
“The study of philosophy consists, therefore, in reflexion, and pragmatism is that method of
reflexion which is guided by constantly holding in view its purpose and the purpose of the ideas it
analyzes, whether these ends be of the nature and uses of action or of thought. … It will be seen
that pragmatism is not a Weltanschauung but is a method of reflexion having for its purpose to
render ideas clear.” (Peirce, CP 5.13 note 1, 1902).

I see that it is possible to parse that sentence in a way that I did not think.
So let me rephrase it in a way that makes the antecedent of "that way" explicit.

And there I have in mind a general attitude
that Peirce expresses on numerous occasions,
whether it be about any other ism or his own
declared pragmatic-ism, for instance, in his
gloss on the theme of pragmatism that I cite
as the sixth variation on the following page:
