Thank you for publicising that, Irving! Both papers were part of a mini-conference myself and Clemency Montelle organized at the NZ Division of the Australasian Association of Philosophy Conference, in Dec '09. Peirce featured prominently in discussions on the day, which is unusual for Australasian philosophy.
Another paper from that mini-conference which is still in advance access, and has a similar theme to the Catton & Montelle paper, is Danielle Macbeth, "Seeing How It Goes: Paper-and-Pencil Reasoning in Mathematical Practice": http://philmat.oxfordjournals.org/content/20/1/58.abstract?sid=2b61ff33-ea 82-434f-9c8d-67675faf094b I would love to hear more about recent publications on Peirce from other list members, though at the same time cognisant of the danger of tipping off a bibliographic deluge. Cheers, Cathy -----Original Message----- From: C S Peirce discussion list [mailto:PEIRCE-L@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU] On Behalf Of Irving Sent: Tuesday, 14 February 2012 8:36 a.m. To: PEIRCE-L@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU Subject: Philosophia Mathematica articles of interest The newest issue of Philosophia Mathematica, vol. 20, no. 1 (Feb. 2012) has some items that may be of interest to members of PEIRCE-L; in particular: Catherine Legg, "The Hardness of the Iconic Must: Can Peirce's Existential Graphs Assist Modal Epistemology?", pp. 1-24 Philip Catton & Clemency Montelle, "To Diagram, to Demonstrate: To Do, To See, and to Judge in Greek Geometry", pp. 25-27 [the title alone of this one puts me in mind of Reviel Netz's book, The Shaping of Deduction in Greek Mathematics: A Study in Cognitive History, which argues that the demonstrations in Euclid's Elements involved diagrammatic reasoning, rather than logical deductions, using "proof" to mean "argumentation" rather than, say, syllogistic logic, and I suspect that Peirce would have loved to have read this and Netz's book]; and Thomas McLaughlin's review of Matthew Moore's edition of Philosophy of Mathematics: Selected Writings of Charles S. Peirce, pp. 122-128.
