"Albert Atkin has given us a substantial, accurate, and sophisticated guide to Peirce's complex philosophy. Everyone interested in the history of American philosophy is in his debt." - Cheryl Misak, University of Toronto, Canada"In this admirably clear, painstakingly accurate, and philosophically responsible portrait of an undeniable but enigmatic genius, Albert Atkin displays the contemporary relevance of Peirce's thought to debates regarding science, rationality, objectivity and a host of other important topics. Those trained in Anglophone philosophy cannot do better than this impressive contribution to a valuable series of guidebooks to pivotal figures in Western thought." - Vincent Colapietro, Pennsylvania State University, USA"One might have thought it impossible to convey both the breadth and depth of Peirce’s wildly inventive research in a clear and accessible way, but Atkin gives us an incredibly lucid and well-organized path through the maze. This engaging book will stand as a remarkable achievement." - Alexander Klein, California State University - Long Beach, USA
