Between Peirce (1878) and James (1898): G. Stanley Hall, the origins of pragmatism, and the history of psychology

Abstract: This article focuses on the 20-year gap between Charles S. Peirce's classic proposal of pragmatism in 1877-1878 and William James's equally classic call for pragmatism in 1898. It fills the gap by reviewing relevant developments in the work of Peirce and James and by introducing G. Stanley Hall, for the first time, as a figure in the history of pragmatism. In treating Hall and pragmatism, the article reveals a previously unnoted relation between the early history of pragmatism and the early history of the "new… Show more

“…The Pragmatic chronotope has been shaped by the writings of Pragmatist philosophers including James, Peirce and Dewey (James, 1907, Bertman & Addis, 2007Leary, 2009). Unlike the Romantic chronotope this values rational thought and purpose, so that the value of a concept, idea or suggestion resides in its impact on conduct and action in the world (Bachkirova and Borrington, 2019).…”

“…7 It is tempting to dwell further on Peirce's particular achievements as an empirical psychologist. For example, we may want to uncover the Peircean heritage in psychology at Johns Hopkins even before G. Stanley Hall founded the psychology laboratory there (Cadwallader 1975, p. 176;Leary 2009;Green 2007). Indeed, Cadwallader enumerates several prominent psychologists "as students and/or members of his Metaphysical Club": Jastrow, John Dewey, J. McKeen Cattell, and Christine Ladd Franklin.…”

“…As a consequence of the important role of the creation of laboratory spaces and the use of brass instruments in disciplinary professionalization, these aspects of the new psychology have received much historical attention (e.g., Capshew, ; Benjamin, ; Evans, ; Borck, ; Schmidgen, ; Sturm & Ash, ). Attention has also been paid to the decidedly nonexperimental, philosophical psychology undertaken by prominent disciplinary figures such as William James (e.g., Coon, ; Bordogna, ; Viney, ; Leary, ), as well as to the enduring influence of mental and moral philosophy on scientific psychology in the United States (G. Richards, , ; Rodkey, ). What has received decidedly less attention is the nonexperimental, empirical psychological research conducted at the very beginning of American scientific psychology (e.g., Hall, ).…”
