Product Description
Review
"For the first time we have available in an intelligible form the writings of one of the greatest philosophers of the past hundred years." --Times Literary Supplement
Product Description
Volume 8 of this landmark edition follows Peirce from May 1890 through July 1892 - a period of turmoil as his career unravelled 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, Comte Lombroso, and Karl Pearson, and takes part in a famous dispute between Frank 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.
