Three years later- Peirce again

I've been reading Peirce's "What Pragmatism Is" and I'm wondering whether Peirce's philosophy leads itself to a kind of practical mysticism whereby the universals of the ideal human being (insan-e-kamel?) and the ideal society become instantiated by a process of "evolution." These trends ultimately converge on a point, which "signifies the real." What bearing could these ideas have on Islam? His writings on belief and doubt seem to be very much in line with Islamic thinking on those topics as does his conviction that pure rationalism and pure empiricism (which lead ultimately to pure skepticism) are dead ends philosophically. His theory of meaning needs further analysis. He doesn't want to do away entirely with metaphysics and seems genuinely to want to accomodate religious language as having genuine meaning (unlike the Positivists) but I must do more research and think some more before I can decide whether his conclusions are compatible with an Islamic Aqeeda.

On a related note, I'm overcome by unusual feeling, equal parts nostalgia and awe, that I've come full circle in the past three years. One of the first posts on this blog was about Peirce's "Neglected Argument for the Existence of God" written in September 2003; three years later I'm writing on Peirce again and will soon, in shaa' Allah, read that essay again.
