From Realism to ‘Realicism’: The Metaphysics of Charles Sanders Peirce by Rosa Mari Perez-teran mayorga (PDF)

Description

Charles Sanders Peirce, the founder of Pragmatism, was convinced that metaphysics is not just of primary importance to philosophy, but that it serves as the basis of all sciences. From Realism to ‘Realicism’ is a unique critical study of Peirce’s metaphysics, and his repeated insistence on the realism of the medieval schoolman as the key to understanding his own system. By tracing the problem of universals beginning with its Greek roots, Rosa Maria Perez-Teran Mayorga provides the necessary yet underrepresented background of moderate realism and Peirce’s eventual revision of metaphysics. This book examines Peirce’s definition of the “real,” his synechism, his idealism, and his “pragmaticism,” which are all related to his sense of realism. With strong analyses and references to Plato, Aristotle, and John Duns Scotus, a Franciscan monk known as a major proponent of scholastic realism, From Realism to ‘Realicism’ is an insightful and intriguing book that will stimulate the minds of fellow philosophers and those interested in Charles Sanders Peirce.

⭐This book did a lot to help me understand the historical background of Peirce’s realism. Perez-Teran shows how the “muddle” over universals started with Aristotle and was gradually cleared up, via the work of thinkers such as Alexander of Aphrodisias, Boethius, Avicenna, and Duns Scotus. Scotus was a big inspiration to Peirce, but eventually he turned to a more extreme realist position (Perez-Teran’s “realicism”) because his view of reality centers on general concepts (triadic relations) unlike Scotus, who emphasized the individual. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to understand Peirce better.I doubt that Perez-Teran’s coined term “realicism” will catch on.
