The third chapter, Revisiting the Peircean Foundations for Theorizing Action and Personal Cultural Change, thematizes the concept of potentiality, integral to Peirce's realism and critical realism alike, as central to Peirce's theories of action and inquiry, while reading the latter as together implying a theory of personal cultural change. cache/2514nk3517p.txt txt/2514nk3517p.txt
