Abstract

I argue that the introduction of the normative sciences in Peirce’s 1903 Harvard Lectures was prompted by ethical concerns related to his pragmatic maxim and his pragmatism, generally. In the new formulation of the maxim, Peirce shows the relation between theory and practice more clearly. At the same time, since theoretical beliefs can translate to practical ones, this shows how the practical application of theoretical science can be used for any purpose, good or ill. I show how Peirce uses an Aristotelian strategy to identify a highest end as a test of the moral character of practical maxims, namely, whether the means and ends derived from the maxim are conducive to that end.
规范科学在皮尔斯实用主义演变中的作用
我认为,皮尔斯在 1903 年的《哈佛讲演录》中引入规范科学,是出于与他的实用主义格言和实用主义相关的伦理关切。在格言的新表述中,皮尔斯更清晰地展示了理论与实践之间的关系。同时,由于理论信念可以转化为实践信念,这就表明理论科学的实际应用可以用于任何目的,无论好坏。我展示了皮尔斯如何使用亚里士多德的策略来确定一个最高目的,以此检验实践格言的道德特性,即格言所衍生的手段和目的是否有利于该目的。
