Anyone else remember the revival of The Doors in the eighties? Some previously unreleased stuff led to a rash of fanboys, who again claimed Morrison was God. It was pretty good stuff, really, but not on a par with Beatles or Hendrix. Or even Clapton.

Gregory, I would also love to know more about Charles Sanders Peirce and pragmatism and the few quotes that the professor at the history of philosophy lecture at the university gave decades ago left me wanting to know more about Peirce and pragmatism. There isn't much about him in the local library.

As an "amateur" philosopher, if any have good articles, talks, lectures etc. that can be linked about Peirce, I would also love them. I have heard the problem is that he didn't publish much.

Besides, Peirce is one of those philosophers that the USA has contributed to the World.

The

I'm not sure he published anything, but I'm under the impression his private writings have been out together in many volumes. I'm a book person and not adapt at surfing the internet

Call the Green Apple bookstore in San Francisco, California. If you're lucky, they'll have something in their rare books collection. A few years back they had several volumes of some extremely rare set or other.

Cheryl Misak has been doing very readable accounts of what Peirce is about and his legacy - Cambridge Pragmatism: From Peirce and James to Ramsey and Wittgenstein ( Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2016)

She sums it up in this youtube lecture - https://youtu.be/nQuNWNjYcVY

A unique thinker who had his differences with other classical pragmatists, James in particular. Dewey he came to respect, eventually, in some respects at least.

If you want to read Peirce's own writings, I would definitely start with the two volumes of The Essential Peirce. The tables of contents and introductions to both volumes, along with the headnotes for all the selections in Volume 2, are online at https://peirce.iupui.edu/edition.html . Besides the two websites that mentioned, another worth checking out is http://www.commens.org/.

As for the secondary literature, my favorite overview is The Continuity of Peirce's Thought by Kelly A. Parker. Another decent option is Peirce: A Guide for the Perplexed by Cornelis de Waal. A shorter treatment that focuses mainly on metaphysics is Charles Peirce's Guess at the Riddle by John K. Sheriff.

Thanks for the names of the books and the given links!
