	Pragmaticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pragmaticism is a term used by Charles Sanders Peirce for his pragmatic philosophy after 1905, in order to distance himself and it from pragmatism, the original name, which had been used in a manner he did not approve of in the "literary journals".
		Whether one chooses to call it "pragmatism" or "pragmaticism", and Peirce himself was not always consistent about it even after the notorious renaming, his conception of pragmatic philosophy is based on one or another version of the so-called "pragmatic maxim".

		Pragmaticism, then, is a theory of logical analysis, or true definition; and its merits are greatest in its application to the highest metaphysical conceptions." ('Additament,' comments on 'Neglected Argument for the Reality of God', CP 6.490, c.

		Unpublished is the argument for the truth of pragmatism based upon the argument of the Harvard Lectures of 1903 which, CSP notes, were not published in his lifetime because of the failure of a "friend" to recommend them for printing.
		Another misrepresentation of pragmaticism is to assert that pragmatism depreciates science.
		The principal question for pragmaticism must be whether thought has any meaning or purport beyond the simple apprehension of the thought itself.

		Peirce then came up with the new word ‘pragmaticism’ which he defined with a much narrower scope, to avoid the confusion that others had created around the word ‘pragmatism’.
		If all minds arrive at a consensus but their conclusion is incorrect, it is still ‘true’, because it is held to be true by everyone who has undertaken the investigation.
		Pragmaticism is a narrower term than pragmatism and is used by Charles Peirce to refer to his inductive-method-based philosophy.

		Pragmaticism is concerned with investigating the meaning of intellectual signs, which are scientific concepts, based on the consequences of the given sign.
		Peirce does stress that pragmaticism is not concerned with explaining the meanings of all signs, however, I would like to expand the definition of pragmaticism also to include organisations.
		The core element in Peirce's pragmaticism is that the meaning of an idea is the sum of its reasonable consequences.

	Semiotics of Terminology: A Semiotic Knowledge Profile - Thellefsen
		Although fixed meanings are poison to the idea of pragmaticism, the development of symbols tends to slow down and become operative as stable knowledge structures.
		Pragmaticism is developed within the pragmatic semiotics and has to be understood as a part of pragmatic semiotics.
		However, the pragmaticist view implies a sharpening of the terminology since it is related to the pragmaticism of pragmatic semiotics we are dealing with.

	Pragmatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prompted by James' use of the term and his crediting of the idea to him, Peirce began writing and lecturing on pragmatism to try and correct James' incorrect interpretation of what he had meant by the term.
		What is common to all three thinkers' philosophy — and with other loosely affiliated thinkers such as Oliver Wendell Holmes — is a broad emphasis on the importance of practical effects in connection with theoretical ideas as they impact on the human way of life in general and the life of inquiry in particular.
		Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) was the founder of American pragmatism (later called by Peirce pragmaticism), an extender of the Scotistic theory of signs (called by Peirce semeiotic), an extraordinarily prolific logician and mathematician, and a developer of an evolutionary, psycho-physically monistic metaphysical system.

	Calembour: Europe/United States
		This, of course, is but a single example of what I call European Pragmaticism; were I to try to record all other instances of this relatively new way of thinking, I would be bored out of my skull.
		Some European states were bullied into this American aggression, but those states that asserted European Pragmaticism objected not only to the baseless American accusations of WMD but to the ideology that military force can quash anti-American feelings and terrorism.
		It should be noted that Adaptivity, the key ingredient for survival and evolution, is present in European Pragmaticism, and is becoming decidely unpopular in American culture, as it relates to morality, politics, and priorities.

		Before the idea of postmodernism is struck down for being unduly sympathetic towards evil and morally concealable, perhaps the bringing about of such a phenomena in America should be addressed.

		Peirce's pragmaticism (his later, re-dubbed version of pragmatism, with a label "ugly enough to be safe from kidnappers) seems to have been influenced in an important way by his acceptance of modal realism.
		In particular, he had come to believe that pragmaticism implies extreme scholastic realism, that for the legitimacy of the Pragmatic Maxim as a method for clarifying concepts requires that there be both real generals and real vagues.
		Here Peirce was attributing to his earlier self the same mistake he attributes to nominalists: moving from the claim that something is a matter of representation or language to the conclusion that it is not also real.

	C.S. Peirce's Pragmatism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		This led him to rename his own brand of pragmatism “pragmaticism,” claiming that this title was “ugly enough to be safe from kidnappers.” Throughout the first decade of the 1900’s, then, Peirce attempted, in Harvard lectures and a series of articles for The Monist, to develop the theory he had first detailed in the 1870’s.
		The most notable difference between Peirce’s later accounts of pragmatism and his earlier approach is his attitude to the question of whether the destroyed diamond was hard.
		In order to see what is unique and interesting in Peirce’s pragmaticism, then, it is worth emphasizing some of the crucial differences between Peirce and James’ take on pragmatism.

	Prolegomena to an Apology for Pragmaticism - 1906
		Prolegomena to an Apology for Pragmaticism - 1906
		This doctrine in no wise conflicts with Pragmaticism which holds that the Immediate Interpretant of all thought proper is Conduct.
		Nothing is more indispensable to a sound epistemology than a crystal-clear discrimination between the Object and the Interpretant of knowledge; very much as nothing is more indispensable to sound notions of geography than a crystal-clear discrimination between north latitude and south latitude; and the one discrimination is not more rudimentary than the other.

	Prolegomena Notes
		In the original publication of this division, in 1867 [1.558] the term A "representamen" was employed in the sense of a sign in general, while A "sign" was taken as a synonym of Index, and an Icon was termed a A "likeness.
		At any rate, the possibility of such a result has to be taken into account; and therewith it must be acknowledged that, on its negative side, the argument may not turn out to be sufficient.
		For example, qua Graph, a concept might be regarded as the passive object of a geometrical intuitus, although Pragmaticism certainly makes the essence of every concept to be exhibited in an influence on possible conduct; and a student might fail to perceive that these two aspects of the concept are quite compatible.

		Moreover, he understood philosophy to be the philosophy of science and logic to be the logic of science (where "science" has its broadest sense, which is best captured by the German word Wissenschaft).
		It is in this light that his specifications of the nature of pragmatism (which he later called "pragmaticism" in order to distinguish his own scientific philosophy from other conceptions and theories that were trafficked under the title "pragmatism") are to be understood.
		When he said that the whole meaning of a (clear) conception consists in the entire set of its practical consequences, he had in mind that a meaningful conception must have some experiential "cash value," capable of being specified as some sort of collection of possible empirical observations under specifiable conditions.
