Abstract
Abstract This chapter shows that the thin characterizations of inquiry and scientific method articulated in Chapter two are accompanied by a powerful system of norms that can transform ‘learning from experience’ into the most sophisticated form of investigation. It argues that the interpretation of Peirce’s view — that science is self-correcting and must eventually converge upon the truth — is incorrect. When the correct account is provided, a coherent picture of Peirce’s conception of inquiry, progress, and truth can be obtained.
