Sumario:This text focuses primarily on Charles Sanders Peirce's realism, pragmatism, & theism, with attention to his tychism & synechism. It is a collection of the author's essays on Peirce. The essays run counter to many selective readings of Peirce, including those encouraged by his friend & champion, William James. The influence of Bernard Lonergan & John E. Smith on the author is clear throughout. In the work, the author brought several distinctive assets to his scholarship. First, his appreciation & understanding of medieval philosophy enriched his discussion of John Duns Scotus's influence on Peirce's 'scholastic realism.' Second, a background in the history of science & mathematics generated careful discussions of Peirce's analysis of probability in physics & of the continuum in mathematics. Finally, knowledge of theology yielded fruitful explorations of Peirce's argument of God's reality as vaguely like a man.
