Charles Sanders Peirce (1839 – 1914) was an American logician, mathematician, philosopher, and scientist. William James and other pragmatists credited Peirce as Pragmatism's founder. Peirce eventually distinguished his own version as "Pragmaticism". He held that a conception's meaning is general and does not boil down to its actual consequences (or "cash value") but consists in the conceived object's conceivable practical consequences. He disagreed with other Pragmatists over what he called their "angry hatred of strict logic" and their views that, among other things, "truth is mutable" and "infinity is unreal".[1]. In his later years he was unable to obtain academic appointments. He and his second wife Juliette lived in Milford, Pennsylvania. He was considered a Polymath for his broad knowledge.
