Gary R., list,
The new book about Peirce's concept of habit obviously deserves an entry
at Arisbe. It's time for me to create a new page for books published in
2016 or after. Meanwhile, I need to add some more books to the page for
books 2006-2015. Peter Lang published in December 2015 a second book
edited by Elize Bisanz of texts by Peirce. In the new book, at least one
of texts has not been previously published ("Quest of Quests", MS 655,
which Arnold Shepperson cited in his paper on Peircean classification,
kinds of induction, and media, communication, and journalism).

o /Publisher's description:/
Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914), American Scientist,
Mathematician, and Logician, developed much of the logic widely
used today. Using copies of his unpublished manuscripts, this
book provides a comprehensive collection of Peirce’s writings on
Phaneroscopy and the outlines of his project to develop a
Science of Reasoning. The collection is focused on three main
fields: Phaneroscopy, the science of observation, Semeiotic, the
science of sign relations, and Logic, the science of inferences.
Peirce understands all thought to be mediated in and through
signs and its essence to be diagrammatic. The book serves as a
timely contribution for the introduction of Peirce’s
Phaneroscopy to the emerging research field of Image Sciences.
Elize Bisanz holds a PhD in Communication Sciences from the
Technical University of Berlin. She is an advisory board member
of the German Association of Semiotic Studies as well as a
permanent research member of the Institute for Studies in
Pragmaticism at Texas Tech University.

*Subject: [PEIRCE-L] Peirce’s Concept of Habit: Before and Beyond
Consciousness
Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2016

List,
This looks to be an interesting collection of essays on habit as
Peirce conceived of it. Consensus on Peirce’s Concept of Habit: Before
and Beyond Consciousness
http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319459189
<http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319459189>
About the book: This book constitutes the first treatment of C. S.
Peirce’s unique concept of habit. Habit animated the pragmatists of
the 19th and early 20th centuries, who picked up the baton from
classical scholars, principally Aristotle. Most prominent among the
pragmatists thereafter is Charles Sanders Peirce. In our vernacular,
habit connotes a pattern of conduct. Nonetheless, Peirce’s concept
transcends application to mere regularity or to human conduct; it
extends into natural and social phenomena, making cohesive inner and
outer worlds. Chapters in this anthology define and amplify Peircean
habit; as such, they highlight the dialectic between doubt and belief.
Doubt destabilizes habit, leaving open the possibility for new beliefs
in the form of habit-change; and without habit-change, the regularity
would fall short of habit – conforming to automatic/mechanistic
systems. This treatment of habit showcases how, through human agency,
innovative regularities of behavior and thought advance the process of
making the unconscious conscious. The latter materializes when
affordances (invariant habits of physical phenomena) form the basis
for modifications in action schemas and modes of reasoning. Further,
the book charts how indexical signs in language and action are pivotal
in establishing attentional patterns; and how these habits accommodate
novel orientations within event templates. It is intended for those
interested in Peirce’s metaphysic or semiotic, including both senior
scholars and students of philosophy and religion, psychology,
sociology and anthropology, as well as mathematics, and the natural
sciences.
