Charles Sanders Peirce (Caroline Era)

Charles Sanders Peirce (10th Septemberm 1839 - 19th April, 1914) was an American philosopher chiefly known for pragmatism and semiotics. He maintained that the whole set of the meaning of a concept lay in its practical consequences. Relatively little is known of his works because most of them are unpublished and have been lost, and only a very incomplete impression can be gained of his thought.
