Peirce List,

Interest in the reading of Peirce’s “New Elements” appears to be flagging of late, so I thought I might spice things up a bit by playing the Devil’s Advocate on a series of critical points. I will draw these points both from Peirce’s text and from the various commentaries on it. Heaven knows I am not accustomed to finding fault with the Peircean canon — by way of reminding myself to mount a spirited opposition, then, I will mark the specific objections I make in this role with the tag “DA”.

Regards,

Jon
