Chance, Love, and Logic gathers Charles S. Peirce's most important philosophical essays, presenting the pioneering thinker often called the father of pragmatism as a scientist, logician, and metaphysician of rare originality. Edited by Morris R. Cohen, with a supplementary essay by John Dewey, the volume frames Peirce as a difficult but visionary mind whose ideas helped shape modern American philosophy and remain strikingly influential. Cohen's introduction emphasizes Peirce's restless independence, his struggles within the academic world, and the breadth of a thought that ranges from logic and inquiry to chance, continuity, and evolutionary love. Peirce's pragmatism is shown as a disciplined method for clarifying ideas by their conceivable experimental consequences, not a mere philosophy of utility. The essays trace how scientific reasoning moves from induction to hypothesis and theory, distinguishing empirical formulas from true laws and showing why symbolic logic was essential to modern science. Across these pages, Peirce argues that chance precedes law, habits emerge from variation, and mind and nature are active, generative processes. The result is a rich, demanding introduction to a philosopher who made inquiry itself into a living, creative art. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
