Charles S. Peirce was a scientific writer in the last 1800s who is often 
credited without founding the Pragmatist movement of American philosophy, 
which was eventually highjacked by William James. Peirce is remembered for 
his work on logical theory, scientific method and mathematics. He never wrote 
even a single sentence, as far as I know, on Buddhism. That is part of what 
makes him my favorite Buddhist author.
