from
Wikipedia
Bertrand Russell ( 1959 ) wrote, " Beyond doubt [...] he was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century, and certainly the greatest American thinker ever.
" ( Russell's Principia Mathematica, published from 1910 to 1913, does not mention Peirce ; Peirce's work was not widely known till later.
) A. N. Whitehead, while reading some of Peirce's unpublished manuscripts soon after arriving at Harvard in 1924, was struck by how Peirce had anticipated his own " process " thinking.
( On Peirce and process metaphysics, see Lowe 1964.
) Karl Popper viewed Peirce as " one of the greatest philosophers of all times ".
Yet Peirce's achievements were not immediately recognized.
His imposing contemporaries William James and Josiah Royce admired him, and Cassius Jackson Keyser at Columbia and C. K. Ogden wrote about Peirce with respect, but to no immediate effect.
