퍼어스 실재론의 변천추이 = Development of Peirce Realism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study of Peirce, I have laid cosiderable emphasis on the importance of the generality of Peirce`s semiotics and consequently try to understand and to evaluate his sign theory as a theory applicable to anything that can be counted as a sign. Most philosophers think of Peirce as the founder of pragmatism and are aware of doctrines about the truth and the meaning.. Inspired by his reading of Kant, he devoted his life providing foundations for the knowledge and, in the course of doing so, he brought together a number of different philosophical doctrines. On this paper, I have shown that for Peirce the theory of signs has its origin in the study of knowledge. Consequently, a good grasp of Peirce`s understanding of the sign requires a prior study of his theory of knowledge. This means that critique of his thought on sign will be difficult because it presupposes a comportable level of understanding of his reality and categories. . The conceptual formation of Pierce`s Reality is divided into 4 periods. In the first period, the concept of Reality is closely related to his epistemology. In this period he limited that the reality can only be ordered from the index that response to the conclusion from the inquiry and unlimited communication. In other words, only within a cognition of thinking,, the emotion which is the empirical quality is always and already conceptually interpreted. And these qualities only can be recognized within the thinking as they were given directly. In the second period, he proposed the realism as the alternative for Berkelian idealism which is that the meaning can not be reverted into sensual object. His Pragmatic maxim is Consider what effects, that might conceivably have practical bearings, we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then, our conception of these effects is the whole of oue conception of the objects(5.402) In an indicative method, all the theoretical decisions those are expressed in one sentence are in a form of confused method of the reason, so that Pierce considered that the conclusions of a conditional sentence needs to be converted into practical maxims that is expressed with the conditional proposition which contains imperative. He assumed that the assertion contains the meaning only when this kind of conversion is effective. The third period is to overcome the Berkelian idealism. The idea that epistemologically cognizable practical reality exists independently from the experimental matter coincide with the idea that the real needs to be limited within the area of potential experience. Due to the above reason, he felt the necessity of semiotics explanation of the reality. In fact, to understand the meaning of the experimental result that the conception contains, the operation of the conception is required. This operation of the conception is ordered from the facultative assertion of the unlimited series. Here he defines why all the propositions needs to be if-then form from its very foundation. It is also in this stage that he invented the new methology of hypotheses, abduction that is differ from the traditional deduction and induction methology. In the forth period, he confronted Royce`s theory of ideal dialeticalism by using the logic of relatives. In this stage, he was influenced by Darwin`s theory of evolution and adopted the concept of the community of interpreter; interpretant. By the creation of phenomelogical categorism based on the logic of relatives, he was able to connect the minds and realistic object`s pure beings. In other words, he was able to connect the Real with the referring role of a language by using the expression like ``now-here`` for a certain situation(The Secondness). The Real creates the relationship with the potential knowldege (The Thirdness) that can be expressed with the meaning in a symbol.
