Page "Charles Sanders Peirce" Paragraph 20

In 1949, while doing unrelated archival work, the historian of mathematics Carolyn Eisele ( 1902 – 2000 ) chanced on an autograph letter by Peirce.

So began her 40 years of research on Peirce the mathematician and scientist, culminating in Eisele ( 1976, 1979, 1985 ).

Beginning around 1960, the philosopher and historian of ideas Max Fisch ( 1900 – 1995 ) emerged as an authority on Peirce ; Fisch ( 1986 ) includes many of his relevant articles, including a wide-ranging survey ( Fisch 1986: 422 – 48 ) of the impact of Peirce's thought through 1983.
