Re: Peirce List • John Sowa

Questions about Peirce’s use of “formal” and “normative” in relation to logic and semiotic have arisen on the Peirce List once again, but I have to run off to another appointment, so for now I’ll just post a link to a relevant previous discussion.

• The Difference That Makes A Difference That Peirce Makes : 19

In other recurring discussions, as far as my personal usage goes, I’ve always suggested there is a place for descriptive semiotics, whether of not that was Peirce’s way of drawing the distinctions.
