"Sheriff's text moves the "guess" to a new level of
understanding, while integrating much of Peirce's philosophy, and provokes many
questions." -- Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy
Newletter
"The purpose of Sheriff's work is to expound
Peirce's unified theory of the universe -- from cosmology to semiotic -- and to
discuss its ramifications for how we should live. He concludes that Peirce has given
us a theory we can live with. The book makes an important contribution to philosophy
of life and to the humanities in general."Â -- Nathan
Houser
"In clear and concise prose, Sheriff describes
Peirce's 'theory of everything,' a vision of cosmic and human meaning that offers a
positive alternative to popular pessimistic and relativistic approaches to life and
meaning." -- Peirce Project Newsletter
