'Studies in Logic' by Members of the Johns Hopkins University (1883) (Foundations of Semiotics)

This volume contains a facsimile reprint of the 1883 Boston edition of __Studies in Logic by Members of the Johns Hopkins University__, edited by Charles S. Peirce. In relation to this work there are three mutually related aspects of Peirce’s thought which deserve to be particularly emphasized: the community structure of science as propagated and practiced by Peirce; his consideration of the fundamental relationship between logic and semiotics; and his emphatic plea for a historisation of science and, hence, of semiotics. Peirce’s __Studies in Logic__ is preceded in this volume by a portrait of Peirce as scientist, mathematician, historian, logician and philosopher by Max. H. Fisch, and a history of semiotics and Charles S. Peirce by Achim Eschbach.
