"Moore is to be congratulated on having put together not only a good Peirce anthology, but one very carefully and informatively edited."—Philosophia Mathematica"Moore has . . . done an excellent job of bringing the most significant of Peirce's writings on mathematics into focus, as well as linking them to the larger project of Peirce's pragmatic philosophy. 8/30/2011"—Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"This book is a gem for everyone interested in Peirce's philosophy of mathematics and may be used as a prerequisite for a deeper journey into his philosophical system."—Zentralblatt MATH"Focuses on the major writings Peirce produced that are of greatest significance for a correct appreciation of his larger philosophical agenda."—Joseph W. Dauben, City University of New York
