We generally acknowledge that the United States - a nation based on individual freedom, natural rights, the rule of law, separation of church and state and popular sovereignty - was founded on three great documents: The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
We should include a fourth. That document was signed this week (June 15) in 1215, in Runnymede, an English meadowland near London. It was called the Magna Carta - the "Great Charter" - and arguably no other document was more important to the development of English common law and ultimately our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Ann E. Berthoff's Forming/Thinking/Writing presents reading and writing as pedagogically inseparable. It establishes a foundation for reading and writing in the ordinary activities of observing and naming the world. Here, Bruss examines the philosophical antecedents of Berthoff's work, especially her interests in Charles Sanders Pierce. He makes explicit the influence of Peirce upon Berthoff's body of work and traces the influences that helped to shape Peirce's ideas, which played a significant role in the establishment of the National Academy of Sciences in 1863.
