Who this is
“Perhaps the greatest mind America ever produced founded three fields — pragmatism, semiotics, and modern logic — and died in poverty, unread, while his best idea made another man famous.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“The meaning of an idea is the difference it would make in practice — and truth is what a community of honest inquirers would finally agree on if the questioning never stopped.”
