Peirce’s relationship towards aesthetics

In this paper, I will examine Peirce?s relationship towards aesthetics. The topic is significant not only for his concept of aesthetics, but also for illuminating the general character of his thought. Specifically, I will focus on Peirce?s understanding of the problem of immediacy, his view of aesthetics as the science of ideals, and the importance of the phenomenological concept of Firstness in relation to his concept of aesthetics and its subject matter.
