Inquiry Into Inquiry 
Jon,
Do you have a citation for the term plausibility that you use instead of tenacity? I’d like to use that term in the chapter I’m writing for Torkild and want to cite you.
Thanks,
Phyllis
Hi Phyllis,
I sent out a couple of emails to your last known address. I’ll summarize the relevant data in a comment on the following blog post.
Read your comments on Dick Lipton’s blog. “Inquiry into inquiry” has some overlap with Bernard Lonergan’s hermeneutics and I wondered if you knew about his work? In any case, I now have some assurance that a study of Peirce might prove beneficial!
No, I don’t recall reading Lonergan. I read more widely in the hermeneutics literature all through the 1990s but I have been hewing more closely to Peirce’s semiotics since then.
Hi Jon!
Do you have some examples (simple examples, using common sense) about Peirce’s theory of information? I’ve been reading your work but maybe other examples explaining the relation between the essential breadth and essential depth will be helpful. It will help with my research!
Congratulations for your work and study about Peirce.
Thanks,
Yago
Yago,
As it happens, I have just returned to my study of Peirce’s early work on information theory, as presented in his Harvard and Lowell lectures of 1865–1866. Peirce begins his analysis of information with some of the most concrete, simple, and common sense examples that we will ever see again from him, so maybe a study of those will help.
Here is a link to the initial blog post of my current series:

Thank you for your blog! It’s a treasure chest.
