Peirce und die Logik des Sehens Autor: Elize Bisanz [erschienen in: IMAGE 21 (Ausgabe Januar 2015) ] Schlagwörter: [Schlagwörter] Disziplinen: [Disziplinen] The beginning of the 1890s, the years in which Charles S. Peirce wrote his articles concerning the laws of mind and Phaneroscopy, brain and mind research was marked by two significant works: Manual de Anatomia Pathologica General by Santiago Ramόn y Cajal and the Principles of Psychology by William James. Whereas these two outstanding scientists had outlined two new scientific disci-plines, neuroscience and psychology, Peirce focused his scientific investigations on mind and brain activity on developing a methodological setting merging the insights achieved by the studies in natural sciences with logical and philosophical studies concerning the cognitive activity of the mind.
