From Realism to 'Realicism'

I now understand some nuances of Peirce's realism for the first time as a result of Dr. Mayorga's careful study. She goes beyond Boler in a number of ways, especially in showing how Peirce's 'realicism' connects and elucidates other areas of his philosophy. Dr. Mayorga's work on Peirce's scholastic realism will set the standard in this area and has opened a new program of Peirce research. -- Nathan Houser, Peirce Edition Project This is a sharply focused yet engagingly written study of Charles Peirce's nuanced position. Rosa Mayorga nicely balances her concern with the historical context and contemporary relevance of Peirce's unique form of philosophical realism (in her neologism, 'realicism'). -- Vincent Colapietro, Pennsylvania State University
