*The Charles S. Peirce Society Newsletter, 6:1* *April/ May 2022* Dear Gary, The community of Peirce scholars is vibrant and strong. Actively working in philosophy, theology, psychology, logic, linguistics, semiotics, and many disciplines besides, Peirce scholars not only span the globe but span all areas of the academy. We hope you will find this newsletter informative and inspiring. Please let us know about your contributions to Peirce scholarship by emailing peircesoci...@gmail.com. Yours truly, The Charles S. Peirce Society Executive Committee *Spotlight on the Peirce Society President* We are delighted that Rosa Maria Mayorga has risen to the Presidency of the Charles S. Peirce Society. Prof. Mayorga obtained her Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Ph.D. degrees in philosophy at the University of Miami, with Susan Haack as her dissertation director. She was a full-time professor in the philosophy department at Virginia Tech for several years before accepting her current position of Chair of Arts and Philosophy at Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus. Her academic research has focused on the philosophy of Charles Peirce, the founder of American Pragmatism. She has published articles and reviews in academic journals such as *Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society, Anthropos, Anuario Filosofico, Contemporary Pragmatism, Social Theory and Practice, Acta Philosophica, Cognitio, Cuadernos de Sistemática Peirceana*, *European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy*, and *Review of Metaphysics, *to name a few*. *Her book *From Realism to "Realicism:" On the Metaphysics of Charles Sanders Peirce *(Lexington/Rowman and Littlefield Press, 2007) is in its second printing. Her work has also appeared in *The Normative Thought of Charles Sanders Peirce* (Fordham University Press, 2012), *Pragmatism and Objectivity* (Routledge, 2016), and *Charles S. Peirce Ciencia, filosofia y verdad *(Monteagudo Ediciones, 2017). She has been invited to present papers at conferences in England, Spain, Italy, Greece, Finland, Poland, South Korea, China, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina, as well as in the US. She has served on executive, organizational, and program committees of several philosophical organizations, including the American Philosophical Association, the Charles S. Peirce Society, the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy, and the “Jornadas Peirce en Argentina.” She was program co-chair, along with Matthew Moore, of the 2014 Charles S. Peirce Centennial Congress attended by 300 scholars from all over the world, which took place at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. Under her guidance as Chair of the Peirce Monument Committee, a memorial was erected by Peirce’s grave in Milford, Pennsylvania and dedicated on April 19, 2019. *The 2022–23 Peirce Essay Prize * The deadline for contributions to the 2022–23 Charles S. Peirce Essay Prize is August 15, 2022. Submission is open to graduate students and persons who have held a Ph.D. or its equivalent for no more than seven years. The award is a $1000 cash prize; presentation at the Society's next annual meeting, ordinarily held in conjunction with the Eastern APA; and possible publication, subject to editorial revision, in the *Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society.* For more information, please see: https://philevents.org/event/show/100190 <https://peircesociety.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c&id=30b333afd4&e=860edf35dc> . *Peirce Translated into Bulgarian* Fifteen of Peirce’s most important texts, including classics such as “On a New List of Categories,” “How to Make Our Ideas Clear,” “The Law of Mind,” “Evolutionary Love,” and “What is Pragmatism,” were recently published in Bulgarian for the very first time in the book „Избрани съчинения на Чарлс С. Пърс“ [*Selected Writings of Charles S. Peirce*, ISBN 978-619-01-1021-7]. The texts were selected and translated by Dr. Aleksandar Feodorov, one of the few scholars in pragmatism and semiotics in the country with a deep knowledge of Peirce’s philosophy. The book was launched at the American Corner of Sofia Library on May 3 with the kind support of the publisher Lyuben Kozarev (Editor-in-Chief of Iztok-Zapad) and Angela Rodel (Executive Director of the Bulgarian Fulbright Commission). They opened the event by expressing their joy and satisfaction with the publication of this book, which makes it possible for the Bulgarian reader to get acquainted with the major contributions and essential ideas of one of the greatest American thinkers, even more so thanks to the extensive annotations of the translator Dr. Feodorov. Another prominent scholar of Peirce, Prof. Ivan Mladenov, gave a more thorough presentation on who Charles S. Peirce is and the significance for the academic community in Bulgaria to finally have direct access to the inexhaustible wealth of his ideas. The evening was concluded with Dr. Feodorov’s talk on his motivation to translate a selection of Peirce’s works and the difficulties he had to overcome in that process, as well as with the curious story of Peirce’s visit to Bulgaria during his 1870 European trip when the founder of pragmatism decided to test the Black Sea’s saltiness by tasting it. The Bulgarian edition of *Selected Writings of Charles S. Peirce* promises to be an extremely influential publication for the years to come and conveys Peirce’s ideas in one more culture and language around the world. The book would not have been completed and published without the very generous financial support of the Bulgarian Fulbright Commission and the Charles S. Peirce Society. The entire team behind the project would like to express their gratitude for the support. *Logic of the Future, ed. Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen* De Gruyter continues to publish the thorough and multi-volume edition of Peirce’s writings on the Existential Graphs. A groundbreaking and must-have set for any Peirce scholar, the following volumes have been published or are forthcoming: *Vol.1, History and Applications,* published January 2020 (Now also available in paperback!) *Vol.2/1, The Logical Tracts,* published May 2021 *Vol.2/2, The 1903 Lowell Lectures,* published May 2021 *Vol.3/1, Pragmatism,* available from August 2022 *Vol.3/2, Correspondence,* scheduled for September 2022 *Have You Been Keeping Up with the Transactions? * New volumes of the *Transactions* continue to be published apace. Be certain to stay up with the most cutting edge research on Peirce, pragmatism, and American philosophy by subscribing to the journal. Recent volumes include a fascinating symposium on Peirce and Assertion, with contributions from Francesco Bellucci, Daniele Chiffi, Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen, Maria Regina Brioschi, Giovanni Tuzet, and Frederik Stjernfelt, as well as the following articles: - “Pragmatism and Sex: An Unfulfilled Connection” by Richard Shusterman - “Peirce and Racism: Biographical and Philosophical Considerations” by Michael L. Raposa, his Presidential Address - “Locke and Rorty on Cultural Pluralism,” by Keunchang Oh - “The Concept of the Correlate in Peirce’s ‘New List of Categories,’” by Jimmy Aames - “I-Representation as Mental Currency: Reading Huw Price through Andrés Bello” by Sergio Armando Gallegos-Ordorica - “Peirce’s Triadic Logic” by Brent C. Odland, his Peirce Essay Prize-winning contribution - “Peirce, Sentimentalism, and Prison Reform,” by Richard Kenneth Atkins - “On Peirce’s Immediate Object” by Giacomo Guidetti - “Bain’s Theory of Belief and the Genesis of Pragmatism” by Aaron Zimmerman - “On a Mistaken Emendation of Peirce’s 1903 Harvard Lectures” by T.L. Short - “Dewey and the Given,” by Jim Garrison - “A New Approach to the Problem of the Order of the Ten Trichotomies and the Classification of Sixty-Six Types of Signs in Peirce’s Late Speculative Grammar” by Jorge Alejandro Flórez Restrepo and Juliana Acosta López de Mesa *The First Phase of the Royce Edition Website Completed * David Pfeifer is pleased to announce that the Royce Edition website ( royce-edition.iupui.edu) now includes all available published writings of Josiah Royce. He writes: In this work, the Ignas Skrupskelis bibliography was the guide. Bibliographical entries fill fifty-five pages, with 282 separate entries. Some items are brief notes, and some items are two volume books. Seven short essays in *The Berkeleyan*, a University of California student publication, from 1874 and 1875 cannot be found. These essays were likely lost in the fire that took place at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1980. Seven articles on the history of the state of California are ignored, because, while Royce is listed as a contributor to the articles, his contributions cannot be identified or separated out. Several articles are ignored, because, while Royce’s name is included in the contributors, whether he contributed anything is not clear. Published notes of “thank you” and “congratulations” are ignored. Six articles are added from other bibliographic resources. Several posthumous collections and publications are included. While I am adept at finding material online, I could not complete this project without the assistance of experts and supportive library staffs. Teodora Durbin, interlibrary loan specialist, at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, was extremely helpful in locating obscure items. This work could not be completed without her expertise and extra efforts. The library staffs at Brown University, The Johns Hopkins University, and Harvard University graciously went beyond their normal duties to obtain copies of Royce articles in publications which are located in deep storage or off-site. These libraries held the only known copies of the publications. The extra efforts are greatly appreciated. The next phase of the project is to post reviews of Royce’s books and specific responses to Royce’s writings by his contemporaries. John Shook kindly provided links to reviews and articles. This phase of the project has begun. The website has a transcription of Royce’s handwritten Ph.D. dissertation and transcriptions of fourteen sets of unpublished lectures. The transcription work will continue under the supervision of Scott Pratt, University of Oregon, Director of the Josiah Royce Edition. The Royce Foundation generously provided a grant of $500.00 for the purchase from Rutgers University Press of a license to post *Josiah Royce’s Seminar, 1913-1914: As Recorded in the Notebooks of Harry T. Costello*. Edited by Grover Smith. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1963, xxiii, 209 pp. on the Edition website as an open access volume, which means that individuals may download and read the volume, use it in research, and quote from it in scholarly publications, but not redistribute the volume or use it in any manner for profit. This book is significant in that the notes made by Harry Costello provide a unique insight into the teaching of Josiah Royce. This book will be posted on the Edition website within the category “Transcribed Manuscripts,” because the book is not a publication by Royce himself, but a transcription of what Royce presented verbally. Of course, website errors and omissions are likely. Your assistance in making corrections is welcomed. Please email me. May you find the website useful in your exploration of the work of Josiah Royce. David Pfeifer Website Administrator depfe...@iu.edu *John J. McDermott: A Legacy* David Sprintzen writes: Dear Colleague, I am pleased to invite you to present a personal tribute to the late American philosopher John J. McDermott during a special event in his honor. The event will take place *Friday, October 21, 2022* at Queens College, CUNY in New York, with an option to participate remotely. Richard J. Bernstein, the Vera List Professor of Philosophy at The New School for Social Research, and John Lachs, Centennial Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Vanderbilt University, will offer keynote remarks. An eminent scholar, McDermott was an indefatigable force behind the revival of classical American philosophy after decades of inattention to that tradition by the professional mainstream. Perhaps more significantly, however, McDermott was a gifted teacher for whom education was a calling. Beloved by generations of students who learned from his impressive erudition and were nurtured by his generous spirit, McDermott bequeathed a living legacy that will endure for decades to come. This gathering of former students, colleagues, and friends honors McDermott’s legacy as a teacher, a mentor, and a deeply special person who touched our lives. Tributes can be given in person or remotely via the video conferencing platform Zoom. There will be time for questions and discussion after each tribute. *Please note that, to include as many voices as possible, tributes will be limited to 10 minutes.* *If you would like to be included in the program, please let David Sprintzen know by June 1 and indicate whether you prefer to participate in person or remotely. You may send an email to *dspri...@gmail.com* or call him at (516)-364-2178. * The planning committee looks forward to hearing from you.
