Re: Ontolog Forum • Jon Awbrey • John Sowa
We are called to recall Peirce’s deeper meanings
of ideas like Form (think Platonic Ideas and the
way Aristotle compounded Form and Matter). When
we come to Sentiment, by any other word, Feeling,
that is the medium of Aesthetics, which concerns
Beauty in no merely skin-deep sense but all that
embodies and manifests ‘the admirable in itself’,
thus every form of life worth living. So Peirce
stands the normative science of Logic on grounds
within the pale of Ethics and fixes the sight of
Ethics on the prize Aesthetics picks to steer by.
