There are two different ways to approach Peirce's logic. One is to focus on how the main topics of logic evolved and were shaped within Peirce's framework. This 'bottom-up' approach not only provides us with genuine insight into Peirce's logic, but also contributes to another, even greater body of research - Peirce's philosophy.

On this view, a public...
