Peirce Society] The Charles S. Peirce Society Newsletter 1:2 October 2017 Dear Gary, We are pleased to be sending you the second issue of the Peirce Society Newsletter. The previous six months have been an exciting time for Peirce scholarship. As is evident from the conferences and research mentioned below, Peirce’s ideas have influenced scholars and scholarship around the globe and in diverse fields of study. We hope you will be inspired by the insight and intelligence of your fellow scholars. Yours truly, The Charles S. Peirce Society Executive Committee In Memoriam After a long battle with cancer, Eliseo Fernandez passed away on May 13, 2017. He had worked for many years at the independent Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering, and Technology in Kansas City, Missouri. An expert in Charles S. Peirce’s philosophy of science, he wrote many articles on biosemiotics inspired by Peirce’s work. His obituary may be found here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__peircesociety.us15.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c-26id-3Dfce6a9b4dc-26e-3Dd56fe5d557&d=DwMFaQ&c=2tStSn3Yyb7CMXxZW9nuG-Sh-vz6mhnySBmFi7HdCsM&r=OQt92e3UJAyeHafsi8GsCRG7n9KJWQgreHLAKdIHCu4&m=q3LHlfZQ8ZglR-KOSxqu7Wj8e8paY1pRZvtffvdJVdE&s=yeN_5u3_6oHmJH9kgD0ug6a958VjcczVWu34pMzR1pM&e=>. The Charles S. Peirce Society extends its condolences to Eliseo Fernandez’s wife Marci, family, and friends in the Kansas City area. Peirce Essay Prize We are glad to announce that Sarah Cashmore, University of Toronto, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, has won the 2017–18 Peirce Essay Prize for her essay “In Search of a Pedagogy of Change through the Developmental Teleology of Charles Sanders Peirce.” Dr. Cashmore will present her essay at the Annual General Meeting in Savannah, Georgia, U.S.A. Spotlight on the Morris Library at Southern Illinois University Carbondale Nicholas L. Guardiano’s “Charles S. Peirce and the Open Court, 1890-1893: Promoting an American Metaphysician” is an online exhibit featuring original letters and manuscripts of Charles S. Peirce found in the Open Court Publishing Company Records. The exhibit may be found here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__peircesociety.us15.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c-26id-3D90a0a7c3af-26e-3Dd56fe5d557&d=DwMFaQ&c=2tStSn3Yyb7CMXxZW9nuG-Sh-vz6mhnySBmFi7HdCsM&r=OQt92e3UJAyeHafsi8GsCRG7n9KJWQgreHLAKdIHCu4&m=q3LHlfZQ8ZglR-KOSxqu7Wj8e8paY1pRZvtffvdJVdE&s=Y-Zd_nVkzj8_PppiVhiHuaD3mn1M5zH2EljY8-VRaWY&e=>. Over two decades, Peirce published some of his most important writings in the company’s two periodicals, The Monist and The Open Court, in effect establishing a relationship that scholars recognize as the most important outlet for his mature philosophy. The exhibit highlights the first years of that relationship, when Peirce elected to use the new publishing platform to present a systematic account of his metaphysics. It also examines his correspondence with the company’s editor, Paul Carus, who became an important interlocutor on essential philosophical ideas and a confidant on personal matters. In their letters, we learn the history of their business relations, witness the interplay between their different philosophical views, and read about the inauspicious events and financial hardships that befell one of the greatest American philosophers during his final tragic years. The Open Court Records are archived at the Special Collections Research Center at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The collection is open to researchers, and a research grant is available. Have You Been Keeping Up with the Transactions? The most recent volume features fascinating work on transcendentalist strains in Charles S. Peirce's writings by Nicholas L. Guardiano and on the semiotics of emotional expression by Trip Glazer. Joshua M. Hall explores the relationship between Santayana’s ideas and those of Delueze while Roger López examines Emerson’s view of friendship. Other essays explore Deweyan themes, such as Jón Ólafsson’s “Skilled Rhetoricians, Experts, Intellectuals and Inventors: Kitcher and Dewey on Public Knowledge and Ignorance,” Paul Guernsey’s “Post-Humanist Pragmatism,” and Phillip McReynolds’ “Autopoeisis and Transaction.” And the volume before last is an absorbing symposium on Dewey’s social and political philosophy, with contributions from Roberto Frega, Gregory Pappas, Roberto Gronda, and Frederica Gregoratto, among many others.

Ibri, Stéphane Madelrieux, Rosa M. Calcaterra, Robert E. Innis, and Carlo Sini. Trending: Peirce on Habits As all Peirce enthusiasts know, habits play a central role in Peirce’s philosophy. They are associated with his category of Thirdness, are essential to his account of symbolic cognition and meaning, play a key role in his cosmology, and are central to his account of self-control. Recent work has focused important light on Peirce’s theory of habit. This year, two conferences were held on the topic, “The Pragmatist Turn and Embodied Cognition: Habit and Experience at the Crossroads between Pragmatism, Neuroscience, and Social Ontology” (University of Parma, April 6–7, 2017) and “Habit and Ritual” (Gothenburg, Sweden, June 12–16, 2017). In 2016, three books on the topic made extensive use of Peirce’s conception of habit. Two are Donna West and Myrdene Anderson, Consensus on Peirce’s Concept of Habit (Springer) and Aaron Massecar’s Ethical Habits (Lexington). And the notion of habit plays a central role in Aaron Wilson’s recent study Peirce’s Empiricism: Its Roots and Its Originality (Lexington). Share! Do you have something to share?
