PEIRCES THEORY OF INQUIRY AND BEYOND - THORA MA...

About a decade ago  an antagonistic debate on the 'science war' arose on both sides of the
Atlantic. At issue was how far the social sciences could intervene in disentangling the
practice of science. The debate has now calmed down  but has by no means been solved. As a
continuation of the antagonism that once haunted the advocates of Karl Popper against those of
Thomas Kuhn  versions of this animated debate are likely to arise again. In this light  the
theory of inquiry once launched by Charles S. Peirce may prove valuable. Despite early efforts
by  amongst others  Karl-Otto Apel and Jürgen Habermas  Peirce's theory of inquiry remains
largely unknown in the social sciences. It is the aim of this publication - the bulk of which
was written long ago as a doctoral thesis - to place Peirce's theory of inquiry in the centre
of social science theory.
