This 2-volume collection traces the later intellectual development of Josiah Royce, through 1912 to his death in 1916. This was the Peirceanized stage of his thought, when he undertook a detailed study of C.S. Peirce's works that lead ultimately to a re-examination and reshaping of his own philosophy. This resulted in, among other things, his masterpiece The Problem of Christianity. The set focuses on the non-logical writing, offering an insight into the richness and subtlety of Royce's mind in his final years, and also casting light on the philosophy of Peirce. The collection comprises one volume of previously unpublished scattered extracts, essays and letters, and a second volume that gathers published speeches, lectures and papers from the Harvard archives and Royce's family.
