Principles of Philosophy and Elements of Logic (Volumes I and II) (Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce)

Charles Sanders Peirce has been characterized as the greatest American philosophic genius. He is the creator of pragmatism and one of the founders of modern logic. James, Royce, Schroder, and Dewey have acknowledged their great indebtedness to him. A laboratory scientist, he made notable contributions to geodesy, astronomy, psychology, induction, probability, and scientific method. He introduced into modern philosophy the doctrine of scholastic realism, developed the concepts of chance, continuity, and objective law, and showed the philosophical significance of the theory of signs and mathematical logic. The present series is the first published edition of his systematic works.About the AuthorCharles Hartshorne is Ashbel Smith Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas.Paul Weiss is Heffer Professor of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.
