On April 19, 1914, the American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce died. He had not held an academic position since 1883 and had lived the last third of his life in financial distress, increasingly isolated, and finally ill. Despite this fact, the last two decades of his life proved the intellectually most fruitful and adventurous part of his already very productive life. In the centerary of his death, his philosophy, integrating logic, pragmatism and semiotics in a detailed architecture, increasingly attracts investigators from all over the globe, not only for historical reasons but also with the aim of extracting insights and ideas relevant for contemporary purposes. This volume gathers a large bundle of contemporary Peirce scholars of different backgrounds, giving a picture of the variety of Peircean themes under current development in many different directions. As Peirce himself declared in 1908, his late system illustrates a development of thought not likely to be independently reproduced in a century.
