I have just discovered Charles S. Peirce. Is there
anyone on the list familiar with his work and writings? In the following
article written for Popular
Science Monthly
in 1877 I was amazed by some of the parallells in Abdu'l-Baha's various
commentaries. At first I thought perhaps Peirce had heard one of His talks
in America until I rechecked the date of the article. It was, however, 14
years after the Declaration of Baha'u'llah, and several years before EG Browne's
audience with Baha'u'llah.
When,
Where and Who was the 1st Western believer to declare ??
I
seem to stumble upon these things in the most round-about way. While
researching Black female leaders (in preparation for MLK observance...) I came
across a comment by Congresswoman Shirley Chislom, where she referred to herself
as a "pragmatic politician". This spurred me to investigate pragmatism -
which led to Peirce... No wonder I never get anything accomplished around
the house!
Here
is the link to his article on "The
Fixation of Belief"
Lovingly, Sandra
