Seven Ways of Looking at a Pragmatic Maxim • 6 • https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2023/08/07/pragmatic-maxim-2/ All, A sixth excerpt is useful in stating the bearing of the pragmatic maxim on the topic of reflection, namely, that it makes all of pragmatism boil down to nothing more or less than a method of reflection. <QUOTE CSP:> ❝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). </QUOTE> Regards, Jon cc: https://independent.academia.edu/JonAwbrey cc: https://mathstodon.xyz/@Inquiry/110854857966219596
