In 1878, Peirce provided a puzzle concerning both his conception of probability and under what conditions one is permitted to reason in accordance with probability; he then offered social sentiment (or logi-cal sentiment) as solution. Quine and Putnam, two well-known con-temporary American philosophers, commented upon and interpreted “Peirce’s puzzle” and his proposed solution. However, their comments and interpretations are neither illuminating nor faithful, leaving Peirce’s thought obscure. In this paper, a more credible and faithful interpretation is suggested with the help of the distinction between logic and logicality, of the separation of logical sentiment from both altruistic moral concern and personal interest, and of the derivation of the contents of Peirce’s three logical sentiments from his conception of probability. |
