The esthetic grounding of ordered thought

Kelly Parker

pp. 1-16

In Peirce's account of the normative sciences, logical validity and truth ultimately rely upon – though they are not reduced to – ethical and esthetic insight. An examination of the relations among critical esthetics, ethics and logic in Peirce's system suggests a possible account of the logic of creative discovery, which Peirce identified as abductive inference.
