W.B. Gallie(as the scholar being cited for arguments about Peirce's theory)
A 20th-century British philosopher known for studying how concepts work and how people use language in different ways.
abduction(Philosophy of science and epistemology)
An inferential rule (Inference to the Best Explanation) whose reliability is questioned on the grounds that it sometimes leads to the acceptance of falsehoods.
normative(in ethics and philosophy)
Relating to how things should be or what people ought to do, rather than just describing how things actually are.
pragmatism(metaphysical challenge to intrinsic value)
A theory, especially as advanced by John Dewey, holding that the world is constantly changing such that ends and means shift by context, making timeless lists of intrinsic goods and evils untenable.
