Pragmaticism as a logical study of consciousness

Cognitive Semiotics, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 14(1), P. 29 - 46

Abstract Pragmaticism states that general rules of action, or habits, are generalizing tendencies lead us to action in conceivable situations describable terms. As a method ‘putting questions our minds,’ it assigns meanings signs terms practical consequences for rational conduct. Questions experiments on various ways finding solutions thoughts. This paper proposes pragmaticism as logical study consciousness. In particular, perceptions relations differences create “temporal contract” between minds give rise experiences. Peirce’s “dyadic consciousness” is this drafting contract mind, anticipating and occasionally furthering beyond the key notions 4E cognitive science.
