Abstract

The fact that Peirce names Royce as that thinker in whom Idealism and his own Pragmatic Critical Common-sensism come together into a new complex thought system or a new semiotic method of inquiry, is rarely commented upon. Still less often do we find links connecting Peirce with Bosanquet, or the latter’s “world of all sorts” and Peirce’s “pluralism.” Charles Morris is exceptional in his connecting of Bosanquet and Peirce in his 1932 study, Six Theories of Mind. This paper will, in the main, provide extrapolations from Morris at this juncture, and from thence: 1) look at the thought of Bosanquet and Peirce separately, and 2) attempt to bring them together again in a new perspective.
