Peirce's Speculative Grammar Logic as Semiotics Routledge Studies in American Philosophy Series

Peirce?s Speculative Grammar: Logic as Semiotics offers a comprehensive, philologically accurate, and exegetically ambitious developmental account of Peirce?s theory of speculative grammar. The book traces the evolution of Peirce?s grammatical writings from his early research on the classification of arguments in the 1860s up to the complex semiotic taxonomies elaborated in the first decade of the twentieth century. It will be of interest to academic specialists working on Peirce, the history of American philosophy and pragmatism, the philosophy of language, the history of logic, and semiotics.
