1:05 am now where I'm at 😁

Mostly “How to Make Our Ideas Clear,” but also other writings of Peirce. My interpretation has also been influenced by Kevin Kelly’s work on inductive methodologies.

If you are looking for a good book on pragmatism Cheryl Misak "The American Pragmatists" is excellent and fun to read.

Good idea!

@@PhiloofAlexandria looking forward to it! As a sociology student I always want to know why Mead is seen as a pragmatist

A major difference is in the principles governing the dynamics. For Hegel, it is rather mysterious laws of the unfolding of Spirit. For Perice, it's scientific method. Also, Hegel is committed to Spirit as a thing; I don't see Peirce as committed to any underlying metaphysical unity.

Lol guess you've never attended a Dewey school

@@Sazi_de_Afrikan Dewey's "experimental" school was mainly composed of children of university professors, with like 1 teacher for 8 students. And they STILL had to learn math and how to read and write at home. Having students lead themselves in education -- or just about anything else -- is most definitely NOT pragmatic. See: all known societies.

If it doesn't yield better results, it is by definition not pragmatic, is it?

I received my 1st Grade education in a Magnet school. I remember a few things, but I'll never forget how I learned: everything was by practice. Memorizing concepts and vocabulary was an unnecessary task. All it mattered was that I knew how to express myself eloquently to an audience and know the subject I am talking about. I remember doing things as simple as grabbing a plush toy (I mostly picked a penguin or polar bear) and talked about the animal and where it was from, as well as talking about the habitat and conditions they lived in. Just recently I reminisced about my education in that Magnet School in Montgomery, Alabama. I was taught, by sheer practice, the basic steps of the scientific method. It was something that came naturally from the teachers to us, students. This is pragmatism: practically showing knowledge. It doesn't matter how much you memorize (or well, it is necessary but at a more suitable stage), so as long as you can eloquently express your (accurate) knowledge in a convincing and confident manner. You cannot blow smoke out of your ass, nor you can have a lot of knowledge but also carry the crippling inability to work with other people in a team to produce a scientifically pertinent project. You must be both, and by sheer force of practice (and pragmatic inquiry) people learned. I don't know about US schools nowadays, but internationally, US schools were characterized by this: showing things the practical way. If you do not believe me, then Kuhn's Scientific Revolutions are, imho, a really good example of pragmatic philosophy. And his work is no "disaster". I find his work very reliable when teaching about evolution and progress on *many* subjects. Albeit elusive at times, the concept of a "paradigm" can work wonders and I also see that one as a solid example of pragmatic philosophy.

@@nelsonhernandez3259 You must not be familiar with John dewey's schools. He was entirely AGAINST practice.
