"I am excited about having this set of lectures available in a solid, sturdy, and well-edited study edition of the kind Turrisi has produced. I like the editor's thoughtful and searching Introduction for an important set of lectures delivered by Peirce, one of the most important lecture series Peirce gave. Through this volume's appearance the inventor of pragmatism—the original native American philosophy—will at last have a thorough voicing of what is perhaps his strongest statement of that doctrine and method in science and philosophy. Previous editions or versions of this lecture series have been seriously incomplete." — Kenneth Laine Ketner, Peirce Professor of Philosophy, Director, Institute for Studies in Pragmaticism, Texas Tech University"From the Preface through the Introduction the editor has taken a very descriptive, straightforward approach, saying what she has in mind clearly and mixing with this highly interesting quotations from letters and manuscripts. Peirce is allowed to speak for himself without an elaborate theory being imposed as to the nature of his thought. In so doing the editor herself strikes a very Peircean tone."These papers will not come out for years (decades) in the edition of the Peirce papers. But here they are available right now in a fine order with solid introductions. Everyone will want to read them. A special advantage here is Peirce introducing his own thought, his basic concepts at the time to an audience that does not know them. When one can find a major philosopher doing this, it is always important. It is a natural key to the philosopher's philosophy. Outstanding." — Donald Phillip Verene, Candler Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy, Emory University
