Re: Background on Peirce and Semiotics

On semiotics specifically, there is this nice collection:

James Hoopes (ed.) ''Peirce on Signs'',
University of North Carolina Press,
Chapel Hill & London, 1991.

My last, best try at explaining the relationship
between the theory inquiry and the theory of signs:

My favorite first reader, often returned to:

Philip P. Wiener (ed.), ''Charles S. Peirce : Selected Writings'',
Original title, ''Values in a Universe of Chance'', Doubleday, 1958.
Reprinted, Dover, New York, 1966.

Another good selection:

Vincent Tomas (ed.), ''Charles S. Peirce : Essays in the Philosophy of Science'',
Liberal Arts Press, New York, 1957.

I remember these as being helpful:

Thomas A. Goudge, ''The Thought of C.S. Peirce'',
University of Toronto Press, 1950.
Reprinted, Dover, New York, 1969.

Murray G. Murphey, ''The Development of Peirce's Philosophy'',
Harvard University Press, 1961.
Reprinted, Hackett, Indianopolis, 1993.

Happy Reading !!!
