This volume explores the three normative sciences that Peirce distinguished (aesthetics, ethics, and logic) and their relation to phenomenology and metaphysics. The essays approach this topic from a variety of angles, ranging from questions concerning the normativity of logic to an application of Peirce's semiotics to John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme."A recurrent question throughout is whether a moral theory can be grounded in Peirce's work, despite his rather vehement denial that this can be done. Some essays ask whether a dichotomy exists between theoretical and practical ethics. Other essays show that Peirce's philosophy embraces meliorism, examine the role played by self-control, seek to ground communication theory in Peirce's speculative rhetoric, or examine the normative aspect of the notion of truth.

"The volume makes a timely contribution to current Peirce scholarship." -- -Shannon Dea University of Waterloo "This is an outstanding work of scholarship, an important contribution to the now significant body of secondary literature devoted to the philosophy of Charles S. Peirce. The intellectual range of the book is truly impressive, and yet the attention to Peirce's realism throughout supplies an important thread of continuity." -- -Michael L. Raposa Lehigh University "These are all sophisticated philosophical essays devoted, some primarily to the interpretation and others to the extension of, the ideas of one of America's most difficult thinkers." -- -Michael L.
