Preface
Editions differ in what they select and how they arrange and edit their texts. Our selecting, arranging, and editing in the Writings of Charles S. Peirce: A Chronological Edition are guided by the belief that Peirce s writings are, as he said of Plato s, worthy of being viewed as the record of the entire development of thought of a great thinker and that the development of his thought is eminently worth studying; for Peirce contributed to an exceptionally wide range of disciplines-in mathematics, the natural and social sciences, and the humanities-while aiming always at eventual synthesis, with a primary focus in logic, more and more broadly conceived.
The need for a comprehensive, chronologically arranged edition of Peirce s writings began to be acutely felt after Murray Murphey s The Development of Peirce s Philosophy appeared in 1961. At the Arisbe Conference in Milford, Pennsylvania, in October 1973, some twenty-five Peirce scholars discussed the relative merits of several alternative plans for such an edition, and settled on a selected but strictly chronological one. Indiana University assumed responsibility for the preparation of the new edition in 1975, and the Peirce Edition Project was established at its Indianapolis campus, or Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis. Supporting grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation began in July 1976, and the Project got underway with a full-time staff of three. An Advisory Board and a group of Contributing Editors were appointed and, after a meeting with the forme
