Meaning and Pragmatism

Peirce and his successors associate Meaning with Consequences, which are determinable by some controlled procedure, e. g. 'solid' = 'cannot be penetrated'.  So, because an operation is essential to their concept of Meaning, it is classified as 'Pragmatist'.  However, a Consequence is a cognized Effect, i. e. an object of scientific knowledge, so, in that regard, it remains a component of Theory.  In contrast, the concept of Meaning as Purpose or as Intention is fully incorporated into Action, and is, thus, completely Pragmatist.  If Wittgenstein had addressed those forerunners, he might have acknowledged their legacy, and its shortcomings that he corrects.
