Writings of Charles S. Peirce: A Chronological Edition, Volume 6

The definitive edition of the writings of America's most important philosopher.

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.

Volume 6 of this landmark edition contains 66 writings mainly from the unsettled period in Peirce's life just after he moved from New York to Milford, Pennsylvania, followed shortly afterward by the death of his mother. The writings in this volume reveal Peirce's powerful mind probing into diverse issues, looking for an underlying unity, but, perhaps, also looking for direction.
