Philosophy Compass, 9(3), 204-213.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/8547This entry explores Charles Peirce's account of truth in terms of the end or ‘limit’ of inquiry. This account is distinct from – and arguably more objectivist than – views of truth found in other pragmatists such as James and Rorty. The roots of the account in mathematical concepts is explored, and it is defended from objections that it is (i) incoherent, (ii) in its faith in convergence, too realist and (iii) in its ‘internal realism’, not realist enough.application/pdfenCharles PeircePeircetruthlimitconvergencepragmatismrealismredundancy theory of truthcorrespondence theory of truthcoherence theory of truthJournal Article10.1111/phc3.12114
