peirce |
 | | Peirce was a strong idealistbelieving that there were in nature ultimate ideal forms of actual and conceptual things (including truth and beauty) and that the properties of these forms were real, whether or not anyone ever came to recognize them as such. |
 | | Peirce conceived the role of inquiry as a process of unfolding the properties of these forms and eventually reaching an ideal truth. |
 | | Qualities are properties of things having to do sensation (sight, smell, sound, texture, etc.)--opinions or attitudes (joy, sadness, beauty, injustice, etc.)--and mental (logical) determinations (size, shape, number, etc.). |
