Differential Propositional Calculus • Discussion 9

Posted on January 21, 2024 by Jon Awbrey

Consider what effects that might conceivably have practical bearings you conceive the objects of your conception to have.  Then, your conception of those effects is the whole of your conception of the object. — C.S. Peirce • The Maxim of … Continue reading →
