Abstract
That the mind performs inferences is pretty much beyond doubt. That some of these inferences are logical inferences is also quite uncontroversial. Peirce, however, presents a fascinatingly plausible thesis to the effect that the only operation that the mind performs is logical inference. In this thesis I explicate what this single type of inference is.
