I'll take Peirce over Descartes, but then a friend of mine was insistent that many of the positions ascribed to Descartes were inaccurate or misunderstood.
Possibly, but I never studied Descartes enough to be able to determine which were his thoughts and which were merely ascribed to him.

Peirce had an important influence upon James, who provides me with much thought. Rorty is fascinating.
