United States. Philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce publishes two articles in the Journal of Speculative Philosophy, entitled “Questions Concerning Certain Claims of the Human Faculties,” which lay out his theory of consciousness: we are not endowed with introspection, nor can we operate in the absence of signs. Above all, we lack intuitive faculties; that is, every notion is actually dictated by a previous one.
