Economy of Logic
Emergence of Monetary Form in Anglo-American Pragmatist and Idealist Discourse
Abstract
The discursive articulation of philosophy via the rhetorical mode of economic symbolization appears to be a common trait of diverse, often opposing theoretical positions at the end of nineteenth-century American philosophy. This paper exposes such articulations, trying to determine in what way the same rhetoric of monetary symbolization is used (and misused) in C. S. Peirce, J. Royce and other philosophers, in order to define mutually incompatible theories of knowledge and interpretation.
