His Glassy Essence by Kenneth Laine Ketner
A carefully edited collection of autobiographical fragments and reflections that traces the development of a pioneering American philosopher and scientist, situating his formative experiences, scientific work, and evolving theories—especially on signs, inquiry, and pragmatism—within the personal struggles, academic disappointments, and financial hardships that shaped his career. Combining primary texts with scholarly annotation, chronology, and commentary, the volume clarifies his methodological innovations such as abduction and fallibilism and explains how his life events influenced his intellectual trajectory. By weaving letters, notes, and reminiscences into a coherent narrative, it makes both the man and his complex ideas accessible to readers interested in the origins and legacy of his thought.
