Cf: Pragmatic Theory Of Truth : 15 At: http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2019/11/10/pragmatic-theory-of-truth-%e2%80%a2-15/
All, The way of inquiry being blocked on Wikipedia, I saved the fork of Pragmatic Truth to which I contributed a goodly helping of morsels to several other wikis over the years. The last of those renderings begins as follows: <QUOTE> Pragmatic Theory Of Truth https://oeis.org/wiki/Pragmatic_Theory_Of_Truth "Pragmatic theory of truth" refers to those accounts, definitions, and theories of the concept "truth" distinguishing the philosophies of pragmatism and pragmaticism. The conception of truth in question varies along lines reflecting the influence of several thinkers, initially and notably, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, but a number of common features can be identified. The most characteristic features are (1) a reliance on the pragmatic maxim ( https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2008/08/07/pragmatic-maxim/ ) as a means of clarifying the meanings of difficult concepts, "truth "in particular, and (2) an emphasis on the fact that the product variously branded as belief, certainty, knowledge, or truth is the result of a process, namely, inquiry. </QUOTE> Regards, Jon On 11/6/2019 2:20 PM, Jon Awbrey wrote:
All, There was a discussion of "Pragmatic Truth" on the Peirce List a couple years ago, in turn reviewing efforts made on pertinent Wikipedia articles a dozen years before.?? It might be useful to repost portions of that discussion here.?? Here's a link to the anchor post of my blog rehash: Cf: Pragmatic Theory Of Truth : 1 At: https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2017/03/11/pragmatic-theory-of-truth-%e2%80%a2-1/ I haven't looked at these articles since the days I wasted trying to justify the ways of Peirce to Wikipediots, other than to reformat them a little here and there, but some of their material may be instructive for ongoing discussions, especially the quotes from Peirce and Kant on the nominal character of truth definitions in terms of correspondence. To make the shortest possible shrift, we need to keep in mind that "correspondence" for Peirce can mean "triple correspondence", in other words, just another name for a triadic relation.
