Peirce o „substancji" i „fundamentach"

In this article, the author presents the view that C. S. Peirce’s thought contains ideas that can help clarify and resolve many of the philosophical problems raised by contemporary thinkers. In the author’s opinion, these thinkers are more predisposed towards understanding Peirce’s thoughts than those who lived in his own time. This article discusses two such problems: (1) the substantiality of beings (including the conception of the self) and (2) the foundations of human knowledge.
