Abductive Inference, Concept Formation, Hypothesis Formation • 1

Posted on April 26, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

In pragmatic semiotics, concept formation like hypothesis formation falls under the heading of abductive inference.  A lot has been said and there’s a lot more to say about that, but things are too much in flux right now to allow … Continue reading →

Individuality, Identity, Teridentity • 1

Posted on March 31, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

Some problems cannot be solved in the paradigms where they first appear, which is why we keep recurring to them without quite freeing ourselves from the loops in which they ensnare us.  Questions about the supposed uniqueness of supposed individuals … Continue reading →

Re: Ontolog Forum • Ravi Sharma In pursuing applications of pragmatic semiotics to scientific research the following distinctions are crucial. We have the relational roles known as Object, Sign, and Interpretant Sign.  These are places or roles a thing may … Continue reading →

Re: Ontolog Forum • Ronald Stamper Concrete examples are very instructive in this arena, and when it comes to refutations a single counter-example serves to puncture many a fallacious general proposition. Here’s a couple of articles, illustrated with concrete examples of … Continue reading →
