Heartily recommend a dose of C. S. Peirce to all who do not acknowledge him

Heartily recommend a dose of C. S. Peirce to all who do not acknowledge him. Since things are evolutionary (continuity) and our theories are inevitably fallible (amendable), the draconian results of either too much or too little place for reason are eliminated. Indeed the realism of Peirce is a welcome liberation  from the straitjacket of feeling that reason is impotent to perform logical acts such as Peirce spent a lifetime considering. We are approaching the 100th year of his death. I rarely see him mentioned in academic indices. A good example is the work of Harold Bloom which suffers from a failure to make Peirce's acquaintance. Peirce belongs, to alter a Bloom saw, in the world canon.
