I used Peirce’s ideas fairly prominently in my philosophy of science courses in the 1980s and 90s. I also used his work to cast light on Kuhnian issues both in my classes and in my doctoral dissertation. Although the last was accepted enthusiastically, I continually got grumblings about how was not teaching the Standard View properly. Maybe things have improved, with more naturalistic approaches becoming more prevalent, but the culture wars really made a mess of trying to bring in Peircean ideas because the view that science was a mere social construct seemed to be supported by naïve interpretations of Peirce. So I found myself apparently fighting myself at some times. John
