This book is based on my doctoral dissertation written at Harvard
University in the year of 1963. My interest in Peirce was inspired
by Professor D. C. Williams and that in Lewis by Professor Roderick
Firth. To both of them lowe a great deal, not only in my study of
Peirce and Lewis, but in my general approach toward the problems of
knowledge and reality. Specifically, I wish to acknowledge
Professor Williams for his patient and careful criticisms of the
original manuscripts of this book. I also wish to thank Professor
Firth and Professor Israel Scheffler for their many suggestive
comments regarding my discussions of induc tion. However, any error
in this study of Peirce and Lewis is completely due to myself.
