The pragmatic theory of truth as developed by Peirce, James, and Dewey
by Denton Loring Geyer
About the author
Denton Loring Geyer was an American author and scholar born in 1884. Records for his books identify him as the author of The Pragmatic Theory of Truth as Developed by Peirce, James, and Dewey, a study that connects his name with major figures in American philosophy, and Introduction to the Use of Standardized Tests, a shorter work focused on educational measurement.
The available evidence also points to an academic career. A memorial record describes him as a retired professor associated with the University of Texas and the University of Chicago, which fits the scholarly character of his published work. From the titles that remain easy to trace today, his writing seems to sit at the intersection of philosophy, teaching, and the growing use of testing in schools during the early 1900s.
