Epistemic nominalisation.

I suppose then that the legitimacy of these studies is largely in the head too? To the extent they are underwritten by causal relations. (Half kidding.)

Ya I think I would recommend it. I remember it being a historical overview plus some contemporary discussion. I don't remember it beating you over the head with pragmatism, but I am sure it would resonate with pragmatist ideas. (I read it in 2014, so this may be off.)

(Think “faculty”, which has the same root).

I have! (Did my undergraduate thesis on Peirce and scepticism.)

Great colours.

Thorndike (thorndyke?) has a great book on experiment and magic, and Lawerence Principe has a great history of alchemy. Both might help
keep a scratching that itch.

Seems like “intuition” comes from something like “watching inside” in + tueri, similar root to “tutor”, watcher.

Thank you!

Peirce subtweeting Peirce?

hap" was the root, used in the phrase"fel it hap" to mean "it happened". Much better than "it is what it is" 

It is from old Norse happ, and used to mean positive happenstance. Funny that accidents are bad. fortuitous events are good. haphazard seems bad. But they are all just chance.
