Charles 2014 - Charles S. Peirce International Centennial Congress

Peirce was one of the most creative and versatile intellectual figures of the last two centuries. Although his genius went largely unrecognized during his lifetime, his work has exerted a considerable influence on the development of philosophy and many other disciplines. In addition to his acknowledged role as one of the pioneers of pragmatism, formal logic, and philosophical sign theory, Peirce made groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, experimental psychology, cosmology, cartography, historiography, and the emerging field of computer science. Many treasures still wait to be unearthed from the rich corpus of the published and unpublished manuscripts of this seminal American mind.
The aim of the Centennial Congress is to advance scholarship on all aspects of Peirce’s thought and biography, and to investigate the relevance and potential of his philosophy for the 21st century?for contemporary philosophical debates and beyond. The organizers welcome interdisciplinary submissions and contributions from scholars in disciplines other than philosophy.
For complete instructions on submission of papers and panel proposals, please consult the full Call for Papers.
Questions concerning things other than submissions should be directed to both Robert Lane (rlane-AT-westga.edu) and John Kaag (John_Kaag-AT-uml.edu).
Information about registering for the Congress and reserving hotel rooms will be made available early in 2014.
