About this book
· scientific inquiry as a method of investigation and its relevance to everyday thinking
· inferential thinking based on abduction, deduction and induction and its use in educational research
· semiotics, the study of signs and its relevance to the development of conceptual understanding
· his profound and insightful ontological categories of Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness and their application to developing an understanding of the world around us
This introductory text is written in a clear and accessible style. Numerous examples are used throughout the book to illustrate Peirce’s complex and sophisticated ideas
and to show how his thinking can be applied to education.Authors and Affiliations
