“…An important aim of pragmatism has always been to overcome dichotomies created by classical philosophical systems. Among these dichotomies are the opposition between mind and body (see Dewey 1958;McDowell 1996;Godfrey-Smith 1998, 2010 and the dispute between direct and indirect theories of perception (see Haack 1994;Bergman 2007;Legg 2014;Wilson 2016). The latter was of particular interest to Peirce, and, while he did not himself address the topic of episodic hypothetical thought, Peirce's attempts to bridge direct and indirect theories of perception within a pragmatist framework suggests that pragmatism may contain insights relevant to the question of the objects of episodic hypothetical thought.…”

The debate over the objects of episodic memory has for some time been stalled, with few alternatives to familiar forms of direct and indirect realism being advanced. This paper moves the debate forward by building on insights from the recent psychological literature on memory as a form of episodic hypothetical thought (or mental time travel) and the recent philosophical literature on relationalist and representationalist approaches to perception. The former suggests that an adequate account of the objects of episodic memory will have to be a special case of an account of the objects of episodic hypothetical thought more generally. The latter suggests that an adequate account of the objects of episodic hypothetical thought will have to combine features of direct realism and representationalism. We develop a novel pragmatist-inspired account of the objects of episodic hypothetical thought that has the requisite features.

“…Sensations, in his view, enter consciousness in the form of beliefs (or judgments), and only then may inferentially justify other beliefs (or judgments). Throughout his writing, however, Peirce oscillated between the view that perception is a direct influence of objects, and the competing view that perceptions "stand for" objects which are to be inferentially ascertained (for a detailed discussion, see Bergman 2007). These two views Peirce aptly labelled presentationism and representationism, respectively (e.g.…”

Scientific realism is a critical target of anti-representationalists such as Richard Rorty and Huw Price, who have questioned the very possibility of providing a satisfactory argument for realism or any other ontological position. I will argue that there is a viable form of realism which not only withstands this criticism but is vindicated on the antirepresentationalists' own grounds. This realist position, largely drawn from the notion of the scientific method developed by the founder of philosophical pragmatism, Charles S. Peirce, will further be compared with the accounts of truth and objectivity proposed by the contemporary pragmatists, Rorty, Price, and Robert B. Brandom.

“…Pour situer concrètement la problématique de cette réfl exion épistémologique, nous avons choisi de traiter un cas très prosaïque qui concerne deux objets très abondants dans notre environnement, un verre à eau et surtout une bouteille. Afi n d'éviter de traiter ces objets en les coupant de leurs fonctions ordinaires, nous les avons intégrés dans une action très simple : remplir le verre d'eau à partir de la bouteille 4 .…”

Pour être versée, la bouteille de Champagne peut être tenue en son milieu à pleine main (comme on le fait pour les autres vins). Il est également très commode, en particulier pour les magnums, de saisir de la main droite le fond de la bouteille, le pouce introduit dans l'évasement et les autres doigts allongés sous la base du fût, l'autre main soutenant délicatement le goulot. Les sommeliers tiennent ainsi les bouteilles d'une seule main, mais c'est une méthode qui sied aux professionnels.
