Peirce's Continuous Predicates

Abstract
Around 1906, Peirce discovered that the logical analysis of a proposition comes to an end when a “continuous predicate” is found. Continuous predicates are those predicates that cannot be analyzed, or, which is the same, are only analyzable into parts all homogeneous with the whole. This paper examines Peirce’s concept of continuous predicate and its relevance to his theory of logical analysis.File in questo prodotto:
