The attached Excerpts.pdf are from the article on phaneroscopy I'm writing. They show
that Peirce's writings, especially in the last decade of his life, have strong
implications for the latest research in the cognitive sciences (philosophy, psychology,
linguistics, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and anthropology).
I believe that these issues show that Peirce's writings are central to 21st c
developments in those fields. They are likely to be critical issues at the Peirce
Bicentennial in 2039. That's only 16 years away.
I participated in the Sesquicentennial at Harvard in1989 and the Centennial in 2014. I
might not make it to the Bicentennial, but it's time to start thinking about the
issues that will be discussed.
Peirce wrote that his writings would be central to the developments for 400 years.
We're getting close to the halfway point.
