Peirce Society] *The Charles S. Peirce Society Newsletter, 2:1* *March 2018* Dear Gary, We are pleased to be sending you this year’s first issue of the Peirce Society Newsletter. Peirce’s ideas continue to be a source of inspiration and cause for innovation throughout the world. We hope that you will let us know about the work you are doing and that the following information keeps you abreast of the work of kindred scholars. Yours truly, The Charles S. Peirce Society Executive Committee *Spotlight on the Peirce Society President* *Rossella Fabbrichesi* is Professor of Hermeneutics at the State University of Milan, Italy. She has published four monographs on Peirce and three collections of Peirce’s writings, besides many essays on the subject. She also has worked on the link between Peirce and Wittgenstein, on semiotics, and on hermeneutics. She edits the first Italian website entirely devoted to Peirce and is Former President of Associazione Pragma. Her most recent essay was published in the volume of the Library of Living Philosophers devoted to *The Philosophy of Umberto Eco*. Her most recent book is *Cosa si fa quando si fa filosofia?* (Cortina, Milano, 2017). She also recently edited *Pragmatism: Some New Ways of Thinking for an Old Name*, a monographic issue of *Rivista di storia della Filosofia *(3-2017). *The Peirce Memorial Monument Project* You recently received an email about our efforts to build Peirce a proper memorial monument. If you have already supported this project, *Thank You!* To learn more about it or to donate, please visit: http://monument.peirce- foundation.org/ <https://peircesociety.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c&id=47164a133a&e=860edf35dc> *Have You Been Keeping Up with the Transactions? * Benoit Gaultier’s 2016 Peirce Essay Prize winning piece “The Iconicity of Thought and Its Moving Pictures” appeared in the most recent issue. Along with it were Tom Short’s carefully argued “The 1903 Maxim,” Daniel Kalpokas’s insightful “Sellars on Perceptual Knowledge,” and Marco Stango’s compelling “A Deweyan Assessment of Three Major Tendencies in Philosophy of Consciousness.” Also in the volume were a fascinating examination of Black Elk’s theology titled “Native Hermeneutics: Reverse Typology and Remythologization,” by S. Joshua Thomas, and an intriguing comparative study on the axiologies of Alain Locke and William James titled “Absolutism, Relativism, and Anarchy,” by Neil W. Williams. The next issue of the *Transactions* will be out soon—subscribe by becoming a member of the Peirce Society today! *Are You Able to Help SPIN?* The Scalable Peirce Interpretation Network (SPIN) project has the aim of enlisting scholars and interested members of the public as volunteers in a collaborative effort to transcribe select portions of the C.S. Peirce manuscripts into an online searchable form. The approach draws on crowdsourcing strategies to make transcriptions that are improved incrementally over time. The project is up and running and the management team would like to encourage all who might be interested to (1) join the transcription efforts and (2) share the information about the project with colleagues, students and other contacts who might be willing to volunteer some of their time. In recent months, volunteers have taken on the task of transcribing drafts of the “Neglected Argument” and portions of the 1903 Lowell Lectures, and they have facilitated discussions of the ideas in those texts on the Peirce-List. Over time, the project management team would like to have hundreds of volunteers joining in the efforts—even if some only transcribe a page or two. As the saying goes, many hands make for light work. Towards this end, the team is exploring innovative ways to support the transcription efforts of a large community of volunteers, and they are also trying to support a wide range of possible downstream uses of the transcriptions. Scholars and editors should contact jeffrey.down...@nau.edu with questions or to express interests in having particular collections of manuscripts transcribed. Exports of the transcriptions can be made available in a wide range of formats. Information about getting started, including simple transcription guidelines and a short video, are available on the project site. The process is relatively simple for transcribing text, and there are more detailed instructions for encoding logical formulas and diagrams in LaTeX.

In *Cambridge Pragmatism*, Cheryl Misak reports that when Frank Ramsey read the last two in the series he described them as “sad stuff” (pg. 158). Recent Peirce scholarship hasn’t been much kinder, with T.L. Short arguing that Peirce in fact had no cosmology—or at least what of it he had expressed in the *Monist* series was a failure (“Did Peirce Have a Cosmology?” *TCSPS* 46:4). Yet some scholars are now shedding new light on Peirce’s metaphysical and scientific commitments and trying to retrieve those aspects of it that are valuable. In his new book, Robert Lane examines Peirce’s realism and how it ties in both with the idealism Peirce expresses in the early *Journal of Speculative Philosophy* series of 1868–69 and the objective idealism of the *Monist* series of the early 1890s. Trevor Pearce is shedding light on the speculative biological claims that underpin Peirce’s obscure “Man’s Glassy Essence” and on who were Peirce’s interlocutors. And Ivo Ibri’s *Kósmos Noetós*, now translated into English, is filled with keen insights into Peirce’s metaphysics. The last word has yet to be said about Peirce’s *Monist* metaphysical series—and some of the best are only now being uttered. *Share!* Do you have something to share?
