Perth (English spelling)
The capital of the state of Western Australia. It is located in the southwest of the state, with the city centre on the right bank of the Swan River, and the city spreads to the left bank and Fremantle Port at the mouth of the river, bordering the Kwinana industrial area. It accounts for more than half of the population of Western Australia. It was founded in 1829 by British Admiral James Stirling, and became a city in 1856. It developed rapidly with the discovery of gold in Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the 1890s, the opening of Fremantle Port in 1901, the opening of the transcontinental railway in 1917, and mining development after World War II. It is the political, economic, and cultural centre of the state, and is home to the state parliament, government offices, churches, a meteorological observatory (1896), museums, art galleries, and the University of Western Australia (1911). Population: 1,738,807 (estimated 2011).

Peirce, Charles Sanders

Born September 10, 1839 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
[Died] April 19, 1914, Milford, American philosopher. Considered the father of pragmatism, he also contributed to formal logic and logical analysis of mathematics. After graduating from Harvard University, he worked mainly as a coastal surveyor for the United States. In his later years, he retired and devoted himself to the study of philosophy. In his 1878 essay How to Make Our Ideas Clear, he argued that the meaning of a concept is determined by the actual results that are elicited by that concept, and this theory was named "pragmatism" by his friend W. James. However, Peirce called his own theory "pragmaticism" to distinguish it from the former. A collection of his essays was compiled in eight volumes after his death.

Perth

The administrative capital of Perth and Kinross, central Scotland, UK. Located on the right bank of the River Tay. In Roman times it was called Victoria, and after St. Columbanus built the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in the 6th century it was also called "St. John's Town". It developed rapidly from the 12th century onwards, and was the capital of Scotland until Edinburgh established its position as the capital around the mid-15th century, but was often occupied by English troops. It was an important river port in the Middle Ages, but as the ports along the lower Tay developed, it gradually declined. It is a commercial and industrial centre in a fertile agricultural region, with industries such as whiskey production and glass. It is also known for its thriving livestock trade. Population: 43,590 (2004 estimate).

アメリカの哲学者。プラグマティズムの祖とされ,また形式論理学,数学の論理分析にも貢献。ハーバード大学卒業後,主として合衆国沿岸測量技師として活躍。晩年は隠栖して哲学研究に没頭。 1878年の論文『われわれの観念を明晰ならしめる方法』 How to Make Our Ideas Clearにおいて,概念の意味はその概念によって引出される実際の結果によって確定されると主張し,この説は友人の W.ジェームズにより「プラグマティズム」と命名された。しかしパースは自己の説を「プラグマティシズム」と呼んで,前者から区別した。死後8巻から成る論文集が編纂された。
