Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914), bekannt als Logiker, Philosoph,
Mathematiker und Physiker, zahlt zu den wichtigsten Denkern der
modernen Wissenschaftsgeschichte. In der spaten und wichtigsten
Phase seines Schaffens (1891-1909) hat er programmatische Aufsatze
sowie ausgewahlte Vorlesungen explizit als eine Reihe fur die
Zeitschrift "The Monist" konzipiert, Beitrage, von denen bislang
nur Ausschnitte und stark revidierte Fassungen veroeffentlicht
worden sind. Die erstmalige und vollstandige Veroeffentlichung der
"Monist"-Texte in diesem Band beabsichtigt eine zeitgemasse
Annaherung an das hoechst heterogene Werk von Peirce. Sie ist der
Versuch, Peirces Gedanken der internationalen wissenschaftlichen
OEffentlichkeit originalgetreu zu prasentieren. Zentrales Ziel der
"Monist"-Reihe bildet die Begrundung einer Methode der Semiotik.
Die Abhandlungen prasentieren Erklarungen zu
Universalgesetzmassigkeiten wie Gefuhle, Wille und Kognition, zu
Differenzen zwischen auf Erfahrung basiertem und imaginiertem
Wissen, aber auch zur Definition der Aufmerksamkeit als einer
symbolischen Tatigkeit. Neben ihrer wissenschaftlichen Relevanz in
der philosophischen, bildwissenschaftlichen und
kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschung, in der Kognitionswissenschaft
und Logik besitzen die von Peirce diskutierten Themen auch eine
hohe Aktualitat fur die zeitgenoessischen Naturwissenschaften.
Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914), American Scientist,
Mathematician, and Logician, developed much of the logic widely
used today. Using copies of his unpublished manuscripts, this book
provides a comprehensive collection of Peirce's writings on
Phaneroscopy and the outlines of his project to develop a Science
of Reasoning. The collection is focused on three main fields:
Phaneroscopy, the science of observation, Semeiotic, the science of
sign relations, and Logic, the science of inferences. Peirce
understands all thought to be mediated in and through signs and its
essence to be diagrammatic. The book serves as a timely
contribution for the introduction of Peirce's Phaneroscopy to the
emerging research field of Image Sciences.

The PEIRCE EDITION contains large sections of previously
unpublished material in addition to selected published works. Each
volume includes a brief historical and biographical introduction,
extensive editorial and textual notes, and a full chronological
list of all of Peirce s writings, published and unpublished, during
the period covered."
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."
"For anyone seriously interested in Peirce, or in
nineteenth-centuryAmerican philosophy, or in American intellectual
history, or in philosophy ingeneral, or in semiotics and its
philosophical import, these volumes should berequired reading." --
Murray G. Murphey, Semiotica
The philosophy of mathematics plays a vital role in the mature
philosophy of Charles S. Peirce. Peirce received rigorous
mathematical training from his father and his philosophy carries on
in decidedly mathematical and symbolic veins. For Peirce, math was
a philosophical tool and many of his most productive ideas rest
firmly on the foundation of mathematical principles. This volume
collects Peirce s most important writings on the subject, many
appearing in print for the first time. Peirce s determination to
understand matter, the cosmos, and "the grand design" of the
universe remain relevant for contemporary students of science,
technology, and symbolic logic."
Volume 6 of this landmark edition contains 66 writings mainly
from the unsettled period in Peirce s life just after he moved from
New York to Milford, Pennsylvania, followed shortly afterward by
the death of his mother. The writings in this volume reveal Peirce
s powerful mind probing into diverse issues, looking for an
underlying unity, but, perhaps, also looking for direction."
"The volumes are handsomely produced and carefully edited, ...
Forthe first time we have available in an intelligible form the
writings of one of thegreatest philosophers of the past hundred
years... " -- The Times LiterarySupplement
..". an extremely handsome and impressive book; itis an equally
impressive piece of scholarship and editing." -- Man andWorld
