Re: Peirce List • Jon Alan Schmidt Peirce’s categories are best viewed as categories of relations.  To a first approximation, firstness, secondness, thirdness are simply what all monadic, dyadic, triadic relations, respectively, have in common.  At a second approximation, we … Continue reading →

Readings On Determination • Discussion 3

Posted on April 23, 2016 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Readings On Determination • 1 I keep coming back to Peirce’s early lectures on the logic of science because we see there the first inklings of his prospective theory of information, one of those ideas whose time was ripe … Continue reading →

Readings On Determination • 1

Posted on April 22, 2016 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List (1) (2) The concepts of definition and determination converge in their concern for setting bounds to the point where they coincide at a certain level of abstraction.  One avenue of approach to determination may then begin from a consideration … Continue reading →

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List (1) (2) Re: Jeffrey Downard (1) (2) (3) Having been through this same discussion on many previous occasions I’ll try to sum up the more persistent confusions never ceasing to bedevil the subject.  Most of these arise from … Continue reading →

Readings On Determination • Discussion 1

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List (1) (2) What I’m really after here has to do with the way a certain concept of determination figures into Peirce’s better definitions of a sign relation — “better” meaning definitions strong enough to bear the load … Continue reading →

Readings On Determination

Posted on April 11, 2016 by Jon Awbrey

This is an anchor post for a set of readings on determination, focusing on the census of senses Peirce employed in his pragmatic approach to information, inquiry, science, and signs with a pinch of readings from other writers for historical … Continue reading →

Re: Peirce List • Jerry Rhee • Tom Gollier • Edwina Taborsky Given a working hypothesis, as abduced in the previous post, the next phase of inquiry uses deductive inference to expand the implied consequences of the abductive hypothesis, with … Continue reading →
