CHARLES PEIRCE'S THEORY
Charles Sanders Peirce, popularly known as "the father of pragmatism," was indeed an American philosopher, logician, mathematician, and scientist who lived from September 10, 1839 to April 19, 1914. He had a reputation for being an oddball.
Peirce, who was educated as a chemist and worked as a scientist for thirty years, made significant contributions to logic, a topic that included much of what is now known as epistemology and the philosophy of science for him. He considered logic as the formal part of semiotics, of which he is a pioneer, foreshadowing the conflict that dominated 20th-century Western philosophy between logical positivists and proponents of philosophy of language.
He also defined abductive reasoning, as well as mathematical induction and deductive reasoning, which he thoroughly articulated. Electrical switching circuits may perform logical functions, he discovered as early as 1886. Several decades later, the same concept was used to the development of digital computers. [13]
Peirce was dubbed "America's best logician" by philosopher Paul Weiss in 1934.
