Peirce:The Scientist and Logician

C S 皮尔斯是美国杰出的科学家和逻辑学家。他以科学家作为职业 ,却常常又声称科学研究是为了逻辑目的 ,喜欢把自己塑造为逻辑学家。另一方面 ,他把逻辑学视为科学 ,丰富的科学经历刺激了他在逻辑学领域的诸多创造性贡献。实际上 ,考察他的研究道路为我们从事推理工作的科学家和从事推理研究的逻辑学家都提出了有意义的启示。

C.S.Peirce is an outstanding American scientist and logician.He worked as a scientist.However he claimed that his research into various sciences is for the purpose of logic,and he would like to describe himself as a logician.On the other way,he thought of logic as science,and the long-period scientific expermients stimulate most of his original contributions in logic.Actually,the consideration of Peirce' s approaches in research provided a good suggestion for both the scientists who used extensively the reasoning methods and logicians who investigate specially the reasoning.
