Abstract
C. S. Peirce (1835-1914), logician, scientist, humanist, philosopher, coiner of the term "pragmatism," and founder of semiotics, is often said to be America's most important philosopher. In 1863, this scion of Cambridge, Mass. intellectual culture took his second degree from Harvard, in chemistry, and worked for the U.S. Coastal Survey. He would later pursue intellectual conversation with the "Metaphysical Club" at Harvard, engaging other young intellectuals of the day. The various doctrines for which he would become known were for the most part only nascent in 1863; and yet there is a remarkable recurrence of central themes throughout his career, leading some commentators to see his work as deeply systematic over the decades.
