Scope and content
Professor Goudge compiled card indices of topics in which he was interested. Two separate indices are represented here.
The first index, in boxes 009 and 010,is comprised of notes on Charles S. Peirce that are grouped by subject and date. The index begins with a number of uncategorized entries. The first category, "Methods of inquiry: scientific method", covers Peirce's writings on that subject between 1877 and 1902. This is followed by "Abstractions", which addresses his writings on that topic between 1867 and 1906. Other topics in box 009 include "community reality and logic", "probability and inference", and "thought and thinking". The final entry for the box is "nature and method of philosophy". Box 010 begins with "phaneroscopy and the categories" and proceeds through "instincts" and "critical common-sensism" to "God and religion". The box ends with "autobiographical references".
The second index is a single box [box 011] with topics relating to evolution, the references being drawn from a wide variety of sources. There is not specific order to the arrangement. The first topic is "evolution and the mind". Others range from "genes" and "natural selection" to "trends and rates of evolution". The last topic in this index is "non-Darwinian interpretations".
