Description
Peirce and the Mark of the Gryphon draws from the still unpublished Peirce manuscripts to explore how Peirce conceived of the evolution of thought, from instinct and imagination, as in myth, to ideas which are exchangeable units of meaning. This book further examines Peirce's cosmology as open-ended, nonfinite and self-organizing. Kevelson has undertaken the first comprehensive study of Peircean process - from imagination/idea to idea as thought.
