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."
