Abstract
THIS valuable addition to the collection of Peirce's writings illustrates the extreme variety and creative power of the great American philosopher. Among the notable contributions contained in this volume are the series of articles which first appeared in the Monist and were so much appreciated by William James. These articles refer to the doctrines of Peirce on chance (tychism), on continuity (synechism) and on love (agapism). Around these articles, the editors have collected and published a wealth of notes, additions and studies ranging from logistics to telepathy, and showing the diverse interests of their author. This new volume will greatly assist the reader in forming an adequate judgment on Peirce's thought and on the historical background of contemporary logic and methodology.
