Description
Summary:This study develops resources in the work of Charles S. Peirce for the purposes of contemporary philosophy. Dr Slater articulates 'a nested continua model' for theological interpretation, which is indebted to Peirce's creation of 'Existential Graphs', a system of diagrams designed to provide visual representation of the process of human reasoning. He investigates how the model can be applied by looking at recent debates in historiography
