Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Volume 5 of the Writings of Charles S. Peirce brings the editors of the Peirce Project one step closer to their momentous goal: a complete edition of the philosopher's works. The present volume included both an important paper on logic that introduces quantification theory and the "Study of Great Men," notes gathered by Peirce for a statistical study of human achievement. Though some of the material, e.g., "The Reciprocity Treaty with Spain," is of purely antiquarian value, the editors should be congratulated for their pursuit of one of the great scholarly endeavors of our time. Recommended for academic collections. Brent's biography of Peirce, also a considerable scholarly achievement, will have a much wider popular appeal. As Brent (history, Univ. of the District of Columbia) stresses, Peirce had a volatile nature. He was often carried away by enthusiasm, and his philosophy bears the mark of his wild temperament. The author notes Peirce's constant academic and personal feuds and the powerful influence of his father, Benjamin. This outstanding book, the first full-scale biography of Peirce, illuminates both Peirce's life and his philosophy.

Format:Taschenbuch
This book contains a great deal of information on the life of a sadly-neglected philosopher; one of the most brilliant Americans of the 19th century. Dr. Brent has a wonderful, at times even poetic, writing style, and he has "lived" with Peirce so long that he has excellent insight into the man behind the philosophy. Struggling through Peirce in a class? This book may not make his philosophy "easy"--but it will make him more human.

This is a very good biography of an overlooked great American thinker. Mr. Brent does a good job of recounting the life of Peirce without getting bogged down in the details of Peirce's philosophy which is well documented in several other books. The book also attempts to analyze Peirce's behavoir and why he failed as an academic, something that desperately needed to be done. As Peirce's reputation inevitatably increases, this biography will become a classic reference to this very interesting American.
