Pragmatism in Philosophy and Education

This volume is an account of the important influence on the development of mathematical logic of Charles S. Peirce and his student O.H. Mitchell, through the work of Ernst Schroder, Leopold L wenheim, and Thoralf Skolem. The text begins by surveying Peirce's early work, and his influence on the world of logic, going on to explore the various applications of his thought on areas of mathematics. Finally, the book examines various theories of thinkers who, it claims, may have been important influences on Peirce.
