Institute for Studies in Pragmaticism

The Institute for Studies in Pragmaticism is the first and oldest center dedicated to the study of Charles S. Peirce's pragmaticism, a research method rooted in logic and signs. Founded at Texas Tech University in 1971, we pursue cross-disciplinary research and teaching in the tradition of one of history's great scientific minds.

"Science does not advance by revolutions, warfare, and cataclysms, but by cooperation, by each researcher's taking advantage of his predecessors' achievements, and by his joining his own work in one continuous piece to that already done."
— C. S. Peirce
