Dauben, City University of New York "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 "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." Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, 8/30/2011
