The problem of an introduction to Peirce's work as a whole: the four periods of the development of his thought -- 3.) The first period: Peirce and tradition, or, From the critique of knowledge to the critique of meaning -- 4.) The second period: the genesis of meaning-critical pragmatism (1871-78) -- 5.) The later Peirce: the last two periods in the development of his thought -- 6.) Peirce's late conception of his system -- 7.) The third period: from pragmatism to the metaphysics of evolution (ca. 1885-98) -- 8.) The fourth period: from pragmatism to pragmaticism (ca. 1898-1914) -- 9.) Conclusion: Peirce and the future of the philosophy of science. . . . . . . . . . . . If you still believe that the enlightenment is more convincing than unquestioned ignorance (or what amounts to the same thing--a philosophical return to fundamentalist authoritarinism hidden within a philosophy of what is thought to be radically 'other') this book is a great book to have. Or if you are convinced by the arguments of Habermas but wish that he would stop apologising and parsing words with himself, then this brilliant and above all clear book by Karl-otto Apel is for you. Apel is one of the last philosophers left who can make a strong argument in favour of reason. He is the last great scientific and rational humanist left in an intellectual landscape which is more and more looking like an ode to the ultimate demise of reason and sanity. -- craig.
