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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great thinker deserves a great book,
By Vicente Garnica (Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writings of Charles S. Peirce: A Chronological Edition, Volume 6, 1886-1890 (Hardcover)
The eight volumes of the Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, published by Harvard University Press, have been one of the most important sources for references on Peirce. But since 1958 - the year Arthur Burks edited the last volume - some other editions became public, complementing the Collected Papers. Surely it demonstrates the increasing academic interest on Peircean works, but at the same time it represents a problem for making unambiguous reference citations on the original manuscripts. Nowadays we need to recognize the efforts of Indiana University's Peirce Edition Project in publishing the complete writings of Peirce in a chronological edition (6 volumes available, 30 projected). It is the most important contribution in recent times to those who are really interested in the writings of Charles Peirce, one of the most important and influential american philosopher.
