Edited by Elize Bisanz, this book provides an introductory collection of Charles S. Peirce's writings on Phaneroscopy as the science of observation, Semeiotic as the science of sign relations and Logic as the science of inferences.
Unique in American intellectual history, Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) made important contributions to symbolic logic, of which he was one of the founders, and to the logic of science. This title contains 66 writings mainly from the unsettled period in Peirce's life just after he moved from New York to Milford, Pennsylvania.
The writings include essays relating to his all-embracing theory of categories as well as papers on logic and mathematics.
The PEIRCE EDITION contains large sections of previously unpublished material in addition to selected published works. Each volume includes a brief historical and biographical introduction, extensive editorial and textual notes, and a full chronological list of all of Peirce's writings, published and unpublished, during the period covered.

Peirce's most important writings on the philosophy of mathematics
Volume 8 of this landmark edition follows Peirce from May 1890 through July 1892-a period of turmoil as his career unraveled at the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. The loss of his principal source of income meant the beginning of permanent penury and a lifelong struggle to find gainful employment. His key achievement during these years is his celebrated Monist metaphysical project, which consists of five classic articles on evolutionary cosmology. Also included are reviews and essays from The Nation in which Peirce critiques Paul Carus, William James, Auguste Comte, Cesare Lombroso, and Karl Pearson, and takes part in a famous dispute between Francis E. Abbot and Josiah Royce. Peirce's short philosophical essays, studies in non-Euclidean geometry and number theory, and his only known experiment in prose fiction complete his production during these years.Peirce's 1883-1909 contributions to the Century Dictionary form the content of volume 7 which is forthcoming.
Features important philosophical papers of the brilliant American thinker Charles Sanders Peirce. This volume presents twenty-five key texts, chronologically arranged, beginning with Peirce's "On a New List of Categories" of 1867, and ending with the systematic presentation of his evolutionary metaphysics in the "Monist Metaphysical Series".
