Action Habit as Imperative: Peirce’s Supreme Art by Donna E. West
This inquiry illustrates how Peirce’s concept of habit-change is foundational to inference-making. A 1911 manuscript features how, within the initial five years, children translate dynamic belief structures into action-habits. Insightful belief structures recommending behavior change operate as primary agents to discover new meanings. Ultimately, these novel belief structures cultivate novel explanations to resolve real-world problems/unexpected consequences.
