Abstract

Abstract:A sentence in the last section of the last of Peirce's 1903 lectures at Harvard is problematic. The editors of The Essential Peirce, Volume 2 changed one word in it, explaining the change in a note. I argue that the attempted emendation fails, not because Peirce's word is preferable, but because no single word would suffice in that context. To state what Peirce must have meant requires more sentences than he used. Exegesis is therefore needed, rather than emendation. It is important to get what Peirce meant right, for the sentence in question bears crucially on what he was attempting to do in the final lecture of the Harvard series.

论皮尔斯1903年哈佛演讲的错误修正

摘要:皮尔斯1903年在哈佛大学最后一次演讲的最后一部分中有一句话存在问题。《皮尔斯精华》第二卷的编辑修改了其中的一个词，并在注释中解释了这一变化。我认为试图修改失败了，不是因为Peirce的话更可取，而是因为在这种情况下没有一个词足够。要说明皮尔斯的意思，需要更多的句子。因此，需要的是注释，而不是修订。正确理解皮尔斯的意思是很重要的，因为这句话对他在哈佛系列的最后一讲中试图做的事情至关重要。

期刊介绍： Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society has been the premier peer-reviewed journal specializing in the history of American philosophy since its founding in 1965. Although named for the founder of American pragmatism, American philosophers of all schools and periods, from the colonial to the recent past, are extensively discussed. TCSPS regularly includes essays, and every significant book published in the field is discussed in a review essay. A subscription to the journal includes membership in the Charles S. Peirce Society, which was founded in 1946 by Frederic H. Young. The purpose of the Society is to encourage study of and communication about the work of Peirce and its ongoing influence in the many fields of intellectual endeavor to which he contributed.
