5.0 out of 5 stars A well written basic overview of Peirce's writing., December 19, 1998

By A Customer

This book covers the early work of Charles Sanders Peirce, the father of Pragmatism. Starting with his seminal work on signs and triadic relations, this book covers a smattering of topics from the importance of conveying what we mean to the concept of Pragmaticism. As the recognized founder of american philosophy, this book shows a diverse picture of the work created by this remarkable man.
