About this Item

Original grey wrapper. Small area of dampstain in the bottom margin of the front cover without any bleedthrough to the pages, small area of dampstain in the fore-edge margin of both wrappers and all of the pages, slight loss at the head and foot of the spine, Good. Internals, apart from the dampstain, very nice. The pages are still unopened, and the journal has obviously never been read. Volume II of The Journal of Speculative Philosophy contained three first printings of articles by C. S. Peirce presenting theories of cognition, reality, and logical validity, and this issue of the volume contains one of these articles (Grounds of Validity of the Laws of Logic: Further Consequences of Four Incapacities). This article is one of five by Peirce constituting the modern founding of semiotic, the general theory of signs. Peirce was a physicist, mathematician, and philosopher. He founded pragmatism and revolutionized logic. Bertrand Russell called Peirce "one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century" and "the greatest American thinker ever." This issue also contains a partial translation of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit.
