查尔斯·桑德斯·皮尔士

查尔斯·桑德斯·皮尔士（Charles Sanders Peirce，p PURSS；1839年9月10日－1914年4月19日），中文常译为皮尔斯或帕尔斯，是美国哲学家、逻辑学家与数学家，被誉为“实用主义之父”。伯特兰·罗素曾称其为：“十九世纪后期最有独创性的思想家之一，当然也是有史以来最伟大的美国思想家。”

## 生平

1839年生于马萨诸塞州坎布里奇，早年在哈佛大学接受教育，后任教于霍普金斯大学。

皮尔士在其一生中被很大程度上忽视了，直到第二次世界大战对他的研究文献仍很缺乏。他的很多巨著仍未出版中译本。他是数学、研究方法论、科学哲学、知识论和形而上学领域中的改革者，他自认为首先是逻辑学家。尽管他主要对形式逻辑做出重要贡献，他的“逻辑”所含盖的很多内容现在被称做了科学哲学和知识论。他发现并创建了作为符号学分支的逻辑学，他发现逻辑运算可以用电子开关电路完成，因此预见了电子计算机。

他被威廉·詹姆士认为是美国当代实用主义的奠基人。
