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 Using copies of his unpublished manuscripts, this book provides a comprehensive collection of Peirce's writings on Phaneroscopy and the outlines of his project to develop a Science of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The PEIRCE EDITION contains large sections of previously unpublished material in addition to selected published works.

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
