1 A late version of the pragmatic maxim is as follows: “Consider what effects that might conceivably have practical bearings,—especially in modifying habits or as implying capacities,—you conceive the object of your conception to have. Then your (interpretational) conception of these effects is the whole (meaning of) your conception of the object” (Peirce, Charles S., Unpublished Manuscript 322, Harvard University, 1907, pp. 1112)Google Scholar.
