Prioritize the developments of later Peirce over earlier Peirce. The nucleus of his thought emerges early but it takes a considerable amount of time to mature into its glorious semi-conclusion. If Peirce contradicts himself or is unclear, try to see what he says later on. Despite being a bit scatter-brained due to the nature of his hectic life and the lack of the privilege of "sitting down" to write his magnus opus, he's usually aware of the problems in his thought and eventually sorts himself out.

Key Ideas:
>Peirce's brutal attack on Kantianism through Kantianism (no intuitions, no introspection, the simplification of the Table of Categories, the rejection of the thing-in-itself and the turn towards phenomenology, etc.)
>the "cenopythagorean" categories (first, second, third)
>the Peircean reduction thesis
>hypostatic abstraction, and its link to the categories (how Peirce's thought "explains" itself in a beautifuly way)
>objective idealism (how Peirce rehabilitates Scotist realism to make a "realist" pragmatism)
>"il lume naturale" (important if you're confused about "what's left?" after Peirce destroys Kantian intuition)
>reasoning: abductive, deductive, and inductive; corollarial and theorematic
>tychism, synechism and agapism (evolutionary metaphysics)
>Peirce's thoughts on mathematical continuity (if you can hack it, though there are helpful secondary sources that discuss this at an educated layman's level)
>Peirce's semiotics (his most famous work, but unarguably derivative of his metaphysics, phenomenology, and logic)
>the community of inquiry
