Charles S. Peirce's "Illustrations of the Logic of Science" is an
early work in the philosophy of science and the official birthplace
of pragmatism. It contains Peirce's two most influential papers:
"The Fixation of Belief" and "How to Make Our Ideas Clear," as well
as discussions on the theory of probability, the ground of
induction, the relation between science and religion, and the logic
of abduction. Unsatisfied with the result and driven by a constant,
almost feverish urge to improve his work, Peirce spent considerable
time and effort revising these papers. These efforts gained
significant momentum after the turn of the century when Peirce
sought to establish his role in the development of pragmatism while
distancing himself from the more popular versions that had become
current. The present edition brings together the original series as
it appeared in "Popular Science Monthly" and a selection of
Peirce's later revisions, many of which remained hidden in the mass
of messy manuscripts that were left behind after his death in
1914.
