The paper discusses Peirce’s version of pragmatism based principally on his logical maxim (its various formulations appeared in 1878-1907) within the context of articulating the character of this philosophical school. The author describes the key features of Peirce’s pragmatist maxim as different from James’s version and shows an open and pluralistic character of pragmatism. Despite the substantial meaning of Peirce’s maxim consisting in providing the „pragmatic meaning“ of thought, the author argues that the pragmatist philosophy can be understood and developed in far more ways.

The essay 'The Will to Believe' by William James is among the most frequently mentioned of his works - it is often quoted from and commented upon. But it is usually interpreted without taking into account the rest of his philosophy, says the authoress. As a result, his philosophy of religion is notoriously simplified and reduced to a sheer pragmatic stance. The purpose of the article is to offer an alternative interpretation of James's philosophy of religion and to present it as a sustained defence of religious subjectivism. The authoress argues against the mainstream reading of James that he was not an epistemological relativist but an advocate of sincere soul searching in philosophy without a presupposed agenda of theoretical tenets and claims.

The aim of the paper is to expose the main characteristics of the philosophy of science as developed in classical pragmatism. The author differentiates between philosophy of science in narrow (internal, epistemological) and broader (externalist, sociocultural) senses. Classical pragmatist philosophy of science embodies the integration of social, historical, anthropological, axiological, ethical and other aspects of science as substantial for its philosophical understanding. The relation between pragmatist philosophy and science is complex, both respectful and critical. It is neither anti-scientist nor scientist philosophy. To understand it, the author provides the reconstruction of the key historical stages of the relations between classical pragmatism and logical positivism/empiricism. Further, the overall outline of the main features of the conceptions of science in Ch. S. Peirce, W. James and J. Dewey with the focus on the concept of inquiry and its sociocultural context is provided. This all adds up to the conclusion that the core of the classical pragmatist philosophy of science is the Deweyan “cultural naturalism”.
