C.I. Lewis

This edited collection explores the philosophy of C.I. Lewis through two major concepts that are integral to his conceptual pragmatism: the a priori and the given. The essays in this volume probe Lewis's new account of the relation between the a priori and the given in dialogue with other notable figures in twentieth-century philosophy.
