Charles Sanders Peirce and Experimental Science (2015)
The present paper analyzes the relevance of experimental science in the works of the North American philosopher and pragmatist Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914). Peirce's contributions as a mathematical physicist, astronomer and experimental psychologist are represented in books, articles and papers presented in conferences. Much of Peirce's life was devoted to experimental science in the United States Coast Survey, where he worked for 30 years in astronomy and geodetics researches. From 1868 to 1870 he carried out observations at Harvard University Observatory. Peirce spent a brief peri I at] hns Hopkins (1879-1884) performing experiments in psychology. As a result, one can say that 1 circe's scientiti,c works arc relevant to his philosophy, particularly with regat'd to fallibilism, evolutionism, indeterminism. pragmatism, chance and continuity.
