Ep. 396: Peirce on Knowledge (Part One)
About this episode
The episode discusses Charles Sanders Peirce's essays on knowledge and intuition, exploring the nature of self-experience and intuitive knowledge.
On 1868 essays by Charles Sanders Peirce: "Questions Concerning Certain Faculties Claimed for Man" and "Some Consequences of Four Incapacities." Do we know when knowledge is intuitive? Is there any such thing as intuitive knowledge? Do we directly experience the self or anything introspective, or do we just infer facts about ourselves from external perspectives? Peirce provides counter-intuitive responses to all these questions. Get more at partiallyexaminedlife.com .
