Peirce's \u003ci\u003eIllustrations of the Logic of Science\u003c\/i\u003e is an early work in the philosophy of science and the official birthplace of pragmatism. It contains Peirce's two most influential papers: \"The Fixation of Belief\" and \"How to Make Our Ideas Clear,\" as well as discussions on the theory of probability, the ground of induction, the relation between science and religion, and the logic of abduction. Unsatisfied with the result and driven by a constant, almost feverish urge to improve his work, Peirce spent considerable time and effort revising these papers. These efforts gained significant momentum after the turn of the century when Peirce sought to establish his role in the development of pragmatism while distancing himself from the more popular versions that had become current. The present edition brings together the original series as it appeared in \u003ci\u003ePopular Science Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e and a selection of Peirce's later revisions, many of which remained hidden in the mass of messy manuscripts that were left behind after his death in 1914.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles S. Peirce\u003c\/b\u003e (1839-1914) was an American philosopher, logician, mathematician, and scientist, sometimes known as \"the father of pragmatism.\" He was educated as a chemist and employed as a scientist for 30 years. Today he is appreciated largely for his contributions to logic, mathematics, philosophy, scientific methodology, and semiotics and for his founding of pragmatism. \u003cb\u003eCornelis de Waal\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor at Indiana University and Purdue University Indianapolis.
