[FRIAM] Is Glen a Pragmatist?

I thought Glen might like this:

 

This Hegelian view is virtually identical with the so-called epistemological
fallibilism (more on which later in this essay) that occupied such a
prominent position in Peirce's thinking. For Peirce, every intellectual
position is open to criticism and further investigation. Thus for both
Peirce and Hegel there is no final, fixed intellectual position free from
any potential for being revised; and the processes of revision are in the
long run self-correcting.

 

It's from
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/peirce/self-contextualization.html

 

Although, come to think of it, he might disagree with the part after the
semi-colon;  i.e., he might belief that science is a random walk.
