皮尔士的实用主义主要是一种意义理论,准确地说,是关于意义的语用学理论。皮尔士看来,实用主义首先是一种科学的逻辑定义方法,这种方法使我们获得关于概念最高等级清晰性的理解,即他所说的“第三等级的清晰性”。而皮尔士关于概念清晰性的三个等级的划分,建立在其符号学中三种解释项的基础之上。分析表明,一个概念(符号)的意义或最终解释就是其最终的逻辑解释项。在这种意义上,我们更愿意将皮尔士的实用主义称为“符号学的实用主义”。
Peirce’s pragmatism is primarily a theory of meaning, to be precise, a pragmatic theory of meaning. Peirce’s view is that pragmatism, above all, is a logical method of scientific definition that leads us to an understanding of the highest level of clarity of concepts, what he calls “the clarity of the third level.” Peirce’s division of the three levels of conceptual clarity is based on three explanations in his semiotics. Analysis shows that the meaning or final explanation of a concept (symbol) is its ultimate logical explanation. In this sense, we prefer to call Pierce’s pragmatism “semiotics pragmatism.”
