THREE DOWN, 17 TO GO
The Indiana University Press has published Writings of Charles S. Peirce, Volume 3, 1871-1878, the third of a projected 20-volume set of the
American philosopher's works. The volumes are being compiled by the Peirce Edition Project housed on the fifth floor of Cavanaugh Hall.
Editor is Christian J.W. Kloesel, associate professor of English.
Peirce's contributions to logic, mathematics, psychology, philosophy, astronomy, and other scientific fields made him a leader in intellectual thought in the latter part of the 19th Century. The third volume
contains Peirce's "Photometric Researches," culminating his work in
astronomy; his "Note on the Sensation of Color," which made him the first experimental psychologist in the Americas; and his publications on
statistical and probability theory, establishing him as an important contributor to that developing area of research. The volume also includes his "Illustrations of the Logic of Science."
The first two volumes were published in 1982 and 1984. All three editions contain large sections of previously unpublished material in addition to selected published works, resulting in a monumental
collection of Peirce's works. Collaborating in the effort are Kloesel, Max H. Fisch, Lynn A. Ziegler, Don D. Roberts, Nathan Houser, Aleta Houser, Ursula Niklas and Edward C. Moore.
