Conduct
1896-98 [c.] | On Logical Graphs | MS [R] 482:18

Conduct is action shaped toward some result.

1906.09.10 | Letters to F. C. S. Schiller | CP 8.322

By “practical” I mean apt to affect conduct; and by conduct, voluntary action that is self-controlled, i.e. controlled by adequate deliberation.

1909 | Letters to William James | CP 8.315

By “conduct” I mean action under an intention of self-control.

nd | Fragments [R] | MS [R] 839

conduct is not mere action; it is rather action so far as it seeks one ultimate result as desirable and shun[s] another [as] undesirable.
