Most of it seems bent on assimilating Peirce to the wits of conventional analytic and continental philosophy. So I hew pretty close to Peirce himself in my current reading. You could try the two volumes of the Essential Peirce for general orientation, if a trifle light on the math side of Peirce. The last contemporary work I read with anything like a spirit of Peirce in it would probably be Sowa's Conceptual Structures, so try that if you haven't already. I would read Dewey over James. He was a little slow getting up to speed but kept at it and lived long enough to become an able expositor of pragmatic and scientific ways. Plus he understood people and society far better than Peirce.
