First line
Peirce founded pragmatism.
From the rear cover
C..S. Pierce, the founder of pragmatism, argued that truth is what we would agree upon, were inquiry to be pursued as far as it could fruitfully go. In this book Cheryl Misak argues for and elucidates the pragmatic account of truth, paying attention both to Peirce's text and to the requirements of a suitable account of the truth. In her account, the correspondence theory of truth is rejected, yet relativism is avoided and the principle of bivalence is preserved, albeit in unusual way.
