abstract = "This paper examines the contemporary philosophical and cognitive relevance of Charles Peirce's diagrammatic logic of existential graphs (EGs), the moving pictures of thought. The first part brings to the fore some hitherto unknown details about the reception of EGs in
the early 1900s that took place amidst the emergence of modern conceptions of symbolic logic. In the second part, philosophical aspects of EGs and their contributions to contemporary logical theory are pointed out, including the relationship between iconic logic and images, the problem of
the meaning of logical constants, the cognitive economy of iconic logic, the failure of the FregeRussell thesis, and the failure of the Language of Thought hypothesis.",
