C.S. Peirce’s importance for logic has been greatly rediscovered in the 21st century. On the one hand, Peirce not only developed deductive logic in the Boolean tradition as he also laid the ground for further developments by logicians like Tarski and Skolem, among others. On the other hand, Peirce’s pioneering work in semiotics is incomparably general, going far beyond the classificatory caricature to which it is commonly reduced to reach out contemporary problems in the fields of methodology, linguistics, the philosophy of language, design theory, and even further.
From all that, Peirce developed highly original responses to a myriad of questions concerning logic, and even new and interesting ways to pose the questions themselves: what is the nature of reasoning? How meaning is generated? How to effectively criticize our own illations? What are the underlying inferential steps of any logical processes? What is the leading principle underlying the passage from premises to conclusion? And many others more. As commonly known, the development of his (not all of them equally finished) systems of logic deal not only with necessary forms of reasoning but included (most notably) probable and defeasible forms of reasoning. So, Peirce’s work emerges as a rich source of inspiration to everyone interested in logic.
