Primary literature

The manuscript material now (1997) comes to more than a hundred thousand pages. These contain many pages of no philosophical interest, but the number of pages on philosophy certainly number much more than half of that. Also, a significant but unknown number of manuscripts have been lost. Joseph Ransdell, 1997.[4]

Articles by Peirce, published in his lifetime

This list includes mainly published philosophical and logical works of some note. Papers by Peirce in many fields were published and he wrote over 300 reviews for The Nation. Sometimes an article below is shown after a special series, but was published during the series. Also note a complicating fact of Peirce scholarship, that Peirce sometimes made significant later corrections, modifications, and comments, for which one needs to consult such works as CP, W, EP, and the (online) Commens Dictionary of Peirce's Terms.

Notes

  1. Brent, Joseph (1998), Charles Sanders Peirce: A Life, 2nd edition, Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press (catalog page); also NetLibrary.
  2. "PhM" would seem to refer to an academic degree. Irving Anellis, a philosopher of logic, has noted that "PM" and "PoM" would confuse scholars in philosophy of mathematics, since "PM" and "PoM" are well established for Bertrand Russell's and Alfred North Whitehead's Principia Mathematica and Russell's The Principles of Mathematics, respectively.
  3. "PSWS" because "PS" could refer to Peirce Studies, "PSW" could be mistaken for Charles S. Peirce: Selected Writings, and "POS" is a common abbreviation for an obscene phrase.

Classics in the History of Psychology (Christopher D. Green) has A-O viewable in html format (Eprint), with indexes of words linked to their definitions. Listed and linked below are Peirce's entries in A-O. Entries shown here without attribution are Peirce's. Mixed attributions are shown here. Boldfaces and parentheses in definition titles are as in the original. Present article's annotations in brackets. Each link is to the relevant page in Christopher D. Green's online html version. Peirce also wrote definitions in P-Z, for instance much of the definition of "Pragmatic (1) and (2) Pragmatism", much of that of "Predication", the whole "Matter and Form" (over 4,060 words), and the long main entry on "Uniformity".
