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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tullio Viola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110649497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110649499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Tullio Viola","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940760322303,"sku":"9783110649499","price":112.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_61cbe3a2-584f-4963-941f-68f5d5e85548.jpg?v=1681449029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peirce-on-the-uses-of-tullio-viola-9783110649499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
