Opis

John Locke and Thomas Nagel famously dismiss the claim that seeing the color scarlet red is like hearing a trumpet's blare, but Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) argues otherwise. Developing an objective phenomenological vocabulary based on formal logic, he contends that we can describe the similarities and differences among diverse experiences.

Recenzje

Charles S. Peirce's Phenomenology is clearly written, accessible, and well argued. Richard Atkins is keenly aware of the changes that took place in Peirce's phenomenological views, he positions himself well with regard to the existing secondary literature and is knowledgeable not only about the writings of Peirce that are in print, but also about the large trove of manuscripts that are still unpublished. A must-read for anyone that has an interest in phenomenology.
