Peirce's understanding of science goes back to Socrates

Joseph Ransdell, "Peirce and the Socratic Tradition" at ARISBE: THE PEIRCE GATEWAY: "Peirce was a radical thinker, attempting to re-think and re-establish logic at the most fundamental level, and it is appropriate to go back to the beginnings of logic in the West to understand what this means. The Aristotelian account of the syllogism, important as it is, does not provide the basic problematics needed to understand Peirce's enterprise nor, in my opinion, is this to be found in Aristotle's conception of science, but must be sought earlier."

A key step toward understanding C. S. Peirce, an effort that is underway but hardly complete.
