Peirce’s Schelling-fashioned critique of Hegel

Abstract

Peirce’s transformation of Kant’s faculty psychology and the heuristic power of the reflective judgment, set within his declared Schelling-fashioned objective idealism, informed his career-long exposé of Hegel’s a priori method of fixing belief as a paradigm of internal logical anancasm. Peirce’s critique of Hegel remains as illuminative and relevant in the contemporary marketplace of ideas.
