Peirce Society] The Charles S. Peirce Society Newsletter 1:1 April 2017 Dear Gary, The Executive Committee of the Charles S. Peirce Society is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative. Twice every year, we will send a short newsletter with information about recent Peirce scholarship and upcoming events. Much of the information for this newsletter has been borrowed from commens.org<http://peircesociety.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c&id=2148e04e04&e=d56fe5d557>, and we thank them for permission to use it. The world of Peirce scholarship is vibrant and spans the globe. We hope this newsletter will keep you in touch with the work of your fellow scholars and Peirce enthusiasts. With growing recognition of Peirce’s important contributions to the contemporary philosophical and scientific landscape, the future of Peirce scholarship is bright indeed. Yours truly, The Charles S. Peirce Society Executive Committee A New Look Thanks to the hard work of Jérôme Vogel, the Peirce Society has a newly designed website peircesociety.org<http://peircesociety.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c&id=5a62abc23d&e=d56fe5d557>. The design features Peirce’s quincuncial map projection. We hope you like the new look of the website, which is also reflected in this newsletter. Spotlight on the Peirce Society President Robert Cummings Neville is Professor of Philosophy, Religion, and Theology at Boston University. Inspired by Peirce since his undergraduate and graduate studies at Yale, the readers of his dissertation on divine creation were John E. Smith, who promoted the Golden Age of pragmatism there, Paul Weiss, who was co-editor of the Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, and Richard J. Bernstein, who has written about Peirce and pragmatism for six decades. Neville is a systematic philosopher, with particular interest in philosophy of religion, and draws upon Confucianism as well as pragmatism. He is the author of nearly thirty books and numerous articles… (please scroll down to read more). Have You Been Keeping Up with the Transactions? The latest volume features fascinating essays on pragmaticism and the normative sciences (the presidential address of Fellow of the Society Ivo Ibri), Peirce’s Egyptological studies (Frank Kammerzell, Aleksandra Lapčić, and Winfried Nöth), the development of logical graphs (Francesco Bellucci and Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen), and the validity of ampliative inference (Bruce Thompson), among other essays of great interest.

Trending: Peirce and Ethics Did you know that three books were published on Peirce and ethics in 2016? They are Diana Heney’s Toward a Pragmatist Metaethics (Routledge), Aaron Massecar’s Ethical Habits (Lexington), and Richard Kenneth Atkins’s Peirce and the Conduct of Life (Cambridge). In 2014, Hedy Boero published Charles S. Peirce: claves para una ética pragmaticista (EUNSA). A collection of essays titled The Normative Thought of Charles S. Peirce (Fordham), edited by Cornelis de Waal and Krysztof Piotr Skowronski, appeared in 2012. In spite of his scant writings on the topic, scholars have much to say about how Peirce’s philosophy bears on ethical matters. Share! Do you have something to share?

Spotlight on the Peirce Society President (Continued) Neville’s trilogy, Axiology of Thinking, developed a pragmatic naturalist theory of knowledge claiming that all thinking is some kind of valuation, in four families of thought: imagination, interpretation, theorizing, and pursuit of responsibility, all advancing Peircean semiotics (with help from Dewey and Whitehead). Those books are Reconstruction of Thinking (SUNY, 1981), Recovery of the Measure (SUNY, 1989), and Normative Cultures (SUNY, 1995). He wrote a naturalistic manifesto for philosophical theology, On the Scope and Truth of Theology: Theology as Symbolic Engagement (T & T Clark, 2006), developing a Peircean theory of religious symbolism, stressing broken but still true symbols. Earlier he had practiced this theory of religious symbolism in Boston Confucianism: Portable Tradition in the Late-Modern World (SUNY, 2000) and Symbols of Jesus: A Christology of Symbolic Engagement (Cambridge, 2001). Recently, he has completed another large trilogy, Philosophical Theology, consisting of Ultimates (SUNY, 2013), Existence (SUNY, 2014), and Religion (SUNY, 2015). This is probably the first large systematic philosophical theology to be based on pragmatism rather than German idealism and to be oriented to the public of world religions, not only Christianity. His most recent volume is The Good Is One, Its Manifestations Many: Confucian Essays on Metaphysics, Morals, Rituals, Institutions, and Gender (SUNY, 2016), which interprets Confucian ritual theory in terms of Peircean semiotics. His current project is tentatively entitled Goodness: In Form and Harmony, Beauty and Art, Obligation and Personhood, and Flourishing and Civilization. Peirceans will recognize that “Beauty and Art” is the Firstness of Thirdness, “Obligation and Personhood” is the Secondness of Thirdness, and “Flourishing and Civilization” is the Thirdness of Thirdness. He has been president of the American Academy of Religion, the Metaphysical Society of America, the International Society of Chinese Philosophy, and the Institute for American Religious and Philosophical Thought. Neville is proud to be president now of the Charles S. Peirce Society and to promote the legacy of its namesake.
