Extractions: Virtuality, Communication, and Community Thought is what it is only by virtue of its addressing a future thought which is in its value as thought identical with it, though more developed. In this way, the existence of thought now depends on what is to be hereafter; so that it has only a potential existence, dependent on the future thought of the community. No present actual thought (which is [in itself] a mere feeling) has any meaning, any intellectual value; for this lies not in what is actually thought, but in what this thought may be connected with in representation by subsequent thoughts, so that the meaning of a thought is altogether something virtual.
Peirce's Logic
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy provides a detailed examination of peirce's contributions to logical theory.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/peirce-logic

Extractions: OCT Charles Peirce's contributions to logical theory are numerous and profound. His work on relations building on ideas of De Morgan influenced Schroder, and through Schroder, Peano, Russell, Lowenheim and much of contemporary logical theory. Although Frege anticipated much of Peirce's work on relations and quantification theory, and to some extent developed it to a greater extent, Frege's work remained out of the mainstream until the twentieth century. Thus it is plausible that Peirce's influence on the development of logic has been of the same order as Frege's. Further discussion of Peirce's influence can be found in Dipert (1995). In contrast to Frege's highly systematic and thoroughly developed work in logic, Peirce's work remains fragmentary and extensive, rich with profound ideas but most of them left in a rough and incomplete form. Three of the Peirce's contributions to logic that are not as well-known as others are described below: In three unnumbered pages from his unpublished notes written before 1910, Peirce developed what amounts to a semantics for three-valued logic. This is at least ten years before Emil Post's dissertation, which is usually cited as the origin of three-valued logic. A good source of information about these three pages is Fisch and Turquette (1966), which also includes reproductions of the three pages from Peirce's notes.

OPT Design Philosophy: Charles Sanders Peirce And Rene Descartes
Discusses elements in the philosophy of charles peirce in relation to Descartes.
http://www.optdesign.com/Philosophy/Peirce.htm

Extractions: Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) was born in Cambridge, Massachuetts. For many people, even if they don't know very much about philosophy, they know the name Descartes. Those who know something about the subject would probably agree that Rene Descartes was one of the most influential thinkers, even to this day. In contrast to Descartes' way of thinking is Charles Peirce's philosophy. Although Peirce is less well known outside the philosophical realm, his thoughts have been influential in the formation of a philosophy called Pragmatism, as well as the development of American society. We are going to be examining their opposing views and their influence on our own thinking. Rene Descartes was alive in the early part of the 17th century. His basic concern is overcoming doubt. How can we overcome doubt? Is there a method that we can use that is applicable in all citations? Descartes wants to be apodictic, which is absolutely certain, about his claims. In order to do this he must begin with a foundation. This foundation must be apodictic as well if the rest of his claims are to be considered true. Descartes also wants to use a method that is logical and the idea of knowledge as systematic. In order to understand why Descartes makes the claims that he does we must first understand how he draws his conclusions. Critical to his whole theory is his need for a foundation. Since we all come from distinct backgrounds and have different inherent beliefs and judgments, it is difficult for us to come to an agreement on issues such as truth. In order to avoid this problem of who is right and why, Descartes tries come up with a method that can be used by anyone to demonstrate 'truth'. If we begin with principles that we all acknowledge as correct, we can use this method to come to an agreement about what is true. Descartes wants to make the process of acquiring knowledge into a formal procedure, so that it can not be disputed.

Peirce And Philo
Discusses charles peirce's account of conditionals, hypotheticals, and what he takes from Cicero's account of the debate between Philo and Diodorus.
http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/jzeman/peirce_and_philo.htm

Extractions: Peirce and Philo Jay Zeman Charles Peirce, logician and philosopher, contributed notably to the theory of the conditional. Actually, from his perspective and in his terminology it is better, as we shall see, to link his work on the conditional with his discussions of the hypothetical proposition. Peirce spoke often of the consequentia de inesse the concept of which is intimately linked with the material, or "Philonian" conditional; indeed, we shall see him calling himself a Philonian. And it is not uncommon to hear Peirce—at least prior to the last decade of his life—declared a Philonian, whose fundamental analysis of the conditional was essentially the same as that of Philo (and of more modern types like Russell and like Quine). In this paper, I intend first to examine Peirce’s understanding of "Philonian"; I will then look at the Philonian or " de inesse " conditional in the context of his overall logical thought. It is commonly held that Peirce in his early years held to the "nominalistic" Philonian conditional, and only later "surrendered" it in favor of a more "realistic" view; the study we are here undertaking will indicate that this does not adequately reflect his position. As we shall see, Peirce at one time or another called himself a Philonian. He was, of course, also quite aware that Philo is historically paired with his teacher Diodorus. That pairing, in fact, is so integral to the meaning of "Philonian" that without consideration of it, "Philonian conditional" becomes a somewhat pretentious term for "truth-functional implication,"

It is now over thirty years since Richard Rorty pointed out the similarities between Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations (1953) and the philosophical framework of Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914), the American logician who was the founder of pragmatism. The view put forward by Rorty is that Peirce had envisaged and repudiated positivist empiricism fifty years earlier, and had developed a set of insights and a philosophical mood very similar to those of contemporary philosophers working under the influence of the later Wittgenstein. The affinity between Peirce's philosophy and the more recent tendency born of the rejection of the Tractatus and the positivism of the Vienna Circle, gave rise to an expectation that the study of Peircean pragmatism and the writings of the later Wittgenstein in ever closer comparison would shed increasing light on both philosophers' work (Rorty 1961).

Semiotics
Short description of semiotics. Includes information about the ideas of Ferdinand de Saussure and charles Sanders peirce.
http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/aesthetics/bldef_semiotics.htm

Extractions: Semiotics is the study of signs and signifying practices, is largely the creation of the Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure and the American pragmatist Charles Sanders Peirce. Independently, they worked to better understand how certain structures were able to produce meaning rather than work on the traditional matter of meaning itself. Saussure's work on semiotics is better known, and he argued that there was no inherent or necessary relationship between that which carries the meaning (the signifier, usually a word or symbol) and the actual meaning which is carried (the signified). For example, the word "car" is not actually a car - the meaning of car could be carried by any random string of letters. It just so happens that, in English, that meaning is carried by the letter c-a-r. Peirce's ideas about semiotics distinguished between three types of signs: icon, index and symbol. Whether a sign belongs in one category or another is dependent upon the

How To Make Our Ideas Clear
1878 article charles Pierce.
http://www.peirce.org/writings/p119.html

Extractions: Popular Science Monthly 12 (January 1878), 286-302. I Whoever has looked into a modern treatise on logic of the common sort, will doubtless remember the two distinctions between clear and obscure conceptions, and between distinct and confused conceptions. They have lain in the books now for nigh two centuries, unimproved and unmodified, and are generally reckoned by logicians as among the gems of their doctrine. A clear idea is defined as one which is so apprehended that it will be recognized wherever it is met with, and so that no other will be mistaken for it. If it fails of this clearness, it is said to be obscure. This is rather a neat bit of philosophical terminology; yet, since it is clearness that they were defining, I wish the logicians had made their definition a little more plain. Never to fail to recognize an idea, and under no circumstances to mistake another for it, let it come in how recondite a form it may, would indeed imply such prodigious force and clearness of intellect as is seldom met with in this world. On the other hand, merely to have such an acquaintance with the idea as to have become familiar with it, and to have lost all hesitancy in recognizing it in ordinary cases, hardly seems to deserve the name of clearness of apprehension, since after all it only amounts to a subjective feeling of mastery which may be entirely mistaken. I take it, however, that when the logicians speak of "clearness," they mean nothing more than such a familiarity with an idea, since they regard the quality as but a small merit, which needs to be supplemented by another, which they call
