The Pragmaticism of Charles Sanders Peirce, as a general theory of conception, is a theory of sign and a theory of thought. Limiting itself on the consideration of the "rational purport" of symbols, the Pragmaticism seeks to establish the kind of causation atribuitive to thought: an efficient causation centralized in perception and experiment and a final causation determining a rational habit of conduct before the general class of experimental phenomena represented by the concept.
