?Chiasson?s comments ? provide a delightful sense of freshness?as if reading real philosophy done anew from scratch. This freshness is not rare in Peirce?s texts, but it is very uncommon in most of the secondary bibliography. My experience is that the reader of this long and well-written dialogue will experience a lot of fun and a renewal of his or her interest around the real philosophical problems often hidden below mountains of heavy scholarly books.? - in: Transactions of the C.S. Peirce Society (Fall 2002)
?One of the primary strengths of this work is its ability to bring clarity to Peirce?s pragmatism. ? Chiasson goes to great length to clarify his ideas and language and use illustrative examples to bring out the force of Peirce?s pragmatism. Recognizing the background readers need to understand Peirce?s philosophy, she explains his references to Darwin, Comte, Ockham, and Hegel?, Chiasson?s work should not be overlooked as an introduction to Peirce?s Pragmatism? Chiasson?s work also represents a significant contribution to the philosophy of education ? Understanding Peirce?s role as a forerunner of educational theory represents an important step toward improving our educational models and practices. ? In sum, this book is composed of two parts that effectively compliment each other. Chiasson?s ability to offer an overview of Peirce?s pragmatism and make a valuable contribution to educational practice and theory is partly a result of her years of experience applying the very educational methods she discusses. But it also derives from her obvious dedication to understanding how pragmatism can influence practical affairs, something all philosophers can learn from.? - in: Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy (October 2001)
