About Charles Sanders Peirce

The Pike County Historical Society has a collection of biographical material, books, and correspondence relating to Charles Sanders Peirce, the American born philosopher, logician, and scientist who is often proclaimed by his current followers to be one of America’s greatest minds. The founder of the philosophical study of pragmatism, he was a great thinker whose theories and ideas were years ahead of his time. Indeed, many of his ideas were not discussed, let alone read, until after the Second World War.
