摘要：The answer is at once, almost nothing, but a lot! We are in a state of quasi-limbo,and so people do notice that we have not been publishing any volume for the last10 years and the universal question is, what is happening to the Peirce Edition Project?It is a question that I keep asking myself! But I am glad to share this more publicly,so that people can get a clear idea of what is going on, since in my view things aregoing on. In a way, the history of the project is the same as the history of any particularhuman being, there are ups and downs. We are dealing with a team of human beings,but you know the project is like a person! Truly speaking, I can see that from the 1970sup to 2010s the project has never been in such bad circumstances, and we have beenin bad circumstances in the past, but never as bad as today. And this is something wedo not joke about. In the first place, about the Writings, so far we got published sevenvolumes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8. We have been working on volume nine for too manyyears and it is actually in great shape, except it lacks the introduction by the directorof the project. It is one of the greatest volumes in the collection if you consider thata lot of writings in it either have never been published before or have been publishedbut not as well as we are going to do. It’s the volume that finishes the year of 1892and does a great deal of 1893, it covers those great topics in the beginning of Peirce’smore mature years and so it covers topics that have to do with logic and the history ofscience, and Peirce’s attempts to popularize his own works in the Open Court journal.There are four publications from the Open Court but we are adding four other textsthat have never been published before. The core of the volume consists of the LowellLectures in the History of Science.
