Excellent book by the founder of pragmatism. Bertrand Russell said of him, "Beyond doubt, he was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century, and certainly the greatest American thinker ever." He made contributions, years ahead of his time, to mathematics, logic, philosophy, and science. First read this in a philosophy course in college.
I love this book. I had read other philosophers, but he was the first that made me work at understanding, and it was wonderful. He pushes you.
Still my favorite philosopher. The way in which these writings are here anthologized is maddening, though.
Peirce is fundamentally necessary. He is not an easy read, but once you start getting a handle on what he was about, it pays off big time.
Good stuff--he really cruises along until he tries to prove god. Should've let well enough be, Charles.

Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914) was the founder of American pragmatism (later called by Peirce “pragmaticism” in order to differentiate his views from others being labelled “pragmatism”), a theorist of logic, language, communication, and the general theory of signs (which was often called by Peirce “semeiotic”), an extraordinarily prolific mathematical logician and general mathematician, and a...more
