Charles S. Peirce : from pragmatism to pragmaticism

Discusses the historical importance of pragmatism as one of the major responses to the 'disintegration of the Hegelian synthesis'. This book presents pragmatism as the rival to both existentialism and Marxism, the two other responses to the Hegelian aftermath, as a mediation between theory and praxis.
