List,

Below is Robert Lane's Facebook post on his new book. I personally consider
Lane to be one of the best--if not *the* best--contemporary interpreter of
Peirce's metaphysics.

I'm happy to announce the publication of my new book, "Peirce on Realism
and Idealism" (Cambridge University Press). The UK/Europe publication date
is December 28, 2017, and it should be available in the US shortly
thereafter.

Here's the publisher's description: "This book offers a new interpretation
of the metaphysics of Charles Peirce (1839–1914), the founder of pragmatism
and one of America's greatest philosophers. Robert Lane begins by examining
Peirce's basic realism, his belief in a world that is independent of how
anyone believes it to be. Lane argues that this realism is the basis for
Peirce's account of truth, according to which a true belief is one that
would be settled by investigation and that also represents the real world.
He then explores Peirce's application of his Pragmatic Maxim to clarify the
idea of reality, his two forms of idealism, and his realism about
generality and vagueness. This rich study will provide readers with a clear
understanding of Peirce's thoughts on reality and truth and how they
intersect, and of his views on the relation between the mind and the
external world."

Best,

Gary R
