The present book is the first to undertake a systematic study of Peirce'sconception of historical knowledge and of its value for philosophy. It doesso by both reconstructing in detail Peirce's arguments and giving adetailed account of the many ways in which history becomes an object ofexplicit reflection in his writings.The book's leading idea may be stated as follows: Peirce manages to puttogether an exceptionally compelling argument about history's bearing onphilosophy not so much because he derives it from a well-articulated andpolished conception of the relation between the two disciplines; but onthe contrary, because he holds on to this relation while intuiting that itcan easily turn into a conflict. This potential conflict acts therefore as aspur to put forth an unusually profound and multi-faceted analysis ofwhat it means for philosophy to rely on historical arguments.Peirce looks at history as a way to render philosophical investigationsmore detailed, more concrete and more sensitive to the infinite andunforeseeable nuances that characterize human experience. In this way,he provides us with an exceptionally valuable contribution to a questionthat has remained gravely under-theorized in contemporary debates.
