Analytic, phenomenological, and pragmatist interpretations of the physics workshop: a comparative hermeneutic in Peircean perspective

Abstract

With illustrative reference to the “philosophy of physics,” the article parses the differences among Analytic, Continental, and Pragmatist schools as eidetic cultures and competing guild-practices in professional philosophy today. Peirce’s philosophy looms large as not only relevant to the philosophy of physics but also to a comparative hermeneutic of the three schools. His cosmomorphism has vital ties with the history of philosophy, ties that are generally lacking in the contemporary scholastic camps.
