Fashioning Episodes Through Virtual Habit: The Efficacy of Pre-Lived Experience
Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
In MS 620 (1909), C. S. Peirce crafts his ultimate statement regarding habit-formation. Here he defines and illustrates the influence of specific vivid virtual habits with the objective of changing future beliefs/actions. The specificity of the protoplans as deter-minations invites immediate implementation of action interventions, or recommendations to change action approaches. In this way, virtual habits transcend mere possibility for implementation of the action strategy; their vividity and specificity uniquely qualify them as soon to be actualized episodes.
