Greetings Everyone
Greetings Everyone
Greetings everyone. Having subscribed to the magazine today, I thought I’d also take advantage of the forum. Basically, philosophy has been an interest of mine for about 15 years, although I didn’t realize, until five or so years ago, that most of what I was thinking, the questions I was asking, books I was reading, etc. all had this underlying philosophical element. It was a philosophy of religion class that really caught my attention and gave me some direction. I pursued theology and religious studies for awhile, but, eventually, I settled on philosophy. My primary interests are American philosophy (especially pragmatism and Peirce), metaphysics & epistemology, and, only recently, philosophy of law. My secondary interests would include just about every other area of philosophy – viz., ethics, social and political philosophy, philosophy of science, religion, language, history of philosophy, etc. I hold a BA in philosophy and will be starting an MA in philosophy this coming fall ’08, after which I’ll either apply for a PhD or perhaps law school.

PEIRCE
Hi Folks,
I used to subscribe to FIRST THINGS magazine. I didn't know much about Peirce until I read "Discovering the American Aristotle" by Edward T. Oakes. Reading your posts I remembered the article that so impressed me.
You can access the article by searching for "peirce" on http://www.firstthings.com/
ENJOY
Tom
