Book Overview

" . . . a first-rate edition, which supersedes all other portable Peirces. . . . all the Peirce most people will ever need." --Louis Menand, The New York Review of Books

"The Monist essays are included in the first volume of the compact and welcome Essential Peirce; they are by Peirce's standards quite accessible and splendid in their cosmic scope and assertiveness." --London Review of Books

This first volume presents twenty-five key texts from the first quarter century of his writing, with a clear introduction and informative headnotes.
