The founding essays of pragmatism, collected after Peirce’s death: the celebrated papers on the fixation of belief and the clarity of ideas, the “Illustrations of the Logic of Science” on chance, probability, and the order of nature, and the late metaphysical series in which absolute chance, the law of mind, and evolutionary love form a cosmology of growth.
