Vol. 6, 8 : Edited By The Peirce Edition Project. Includes Bibliographies And Indexes.

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 volumes are handsomely produced and carefully edited, ... For the first time we have available in an intelligible form the writings of one of the greatest philosophers of the past hundred years...

Murphey, Semiotica "For anyone seriously interested in Peirce, or in nineteenth-century American philosophy, or in American intellectual history, or in philosophy in general, or in semiotics and its philosophical import, these volumes should be required reading."

Murphey, Semiotica There is a very convenient system of signs by which very intricate problems of reasoning can be solved. v. 1. 1857-1866 v. 2. 1867-1871 v. 3. 1872-1878 v. 4. 1879-1884 v. 5. 1884-1886 v. 6. 1886-1890.
