It does \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eso by both reconstructing in detail Peirce's arguments and giving a \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003edetailed account of the many ways in which history becomes an object of \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eexplicit reflection in his writings. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book's leading idea may be stated as follows: Peirce manages to put \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003etogether an exceptionally compelling argument about history's bearing on \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ephilosophy not so much because he derives it from a well-articulated and \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003epolished conception of the relation between the two disciplines; but on \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ethe contrary, because he holds on to this relation while intuiting that it \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ecan easily turn into a conflict. This potential conflict acts therefore as a \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003espur to put forth an unusually profound and multi-faceted analysis of \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ewhat it means for philosophy to rely on historical arguments. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeirce looks at history as a way to render philosophical investigations \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003emore detailed, more concrete and more sensitive to the infinite and \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eunforeseeable nuances that characterize human experience. In this way, \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ehe provides us with an exceptionally valuable contribution to a question \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ethat has remained gravely under-theorized in contemporary debates. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTullio Viola\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Erfurt. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 261\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 29, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53097794371808,"sku":"9783110996746","price":36.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/q_di1BbHqS9783110996746.webp?v=1781688562","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/peirce-on-the-uses-of-history-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
