Abstract

This dissertation is the first scholarly attempt to connect Peirce's early logical developments, his analysis of experience, and his derivation of the categories into one coherent system. By doing so, I am able to show how Peirce used his developments in logic to revise Kant's Transcendental Analytic. It is my belief that his analysis of experience as an instance of a hypothetical inference results in a derivation of the categories without transcendental idealism since the derivation starts from a position of fallible realism and is verified through induction rather than a transcendental deduction. This dissertation is the first scholarly work to argue that the early Peirce was a realist---that is, that his three categories of qualities, objects and representations are the categories of the world itself
