Peirce’s 1870 “Logic Of Relatives” • Comment 2

Posted on October 22, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

In a recent post on a related topic I gave this assessment of our present situation: One of the more disconcerting developments, I might say “devolutions”, I’ve observed over the past 20 years has been the general slippage back to … Continue reading →

Peirce’s 1870 “Logic of Relatives” • Comment 1

Posted on October 22, 2019 by Jon Awbrey

Peirce often stressed his Logic of Relatives as the key to unlocking many puzzles.  As I read him, it was Peirce’s drive to understand the Logic of Science that required the grounding of logic in the mathematical forms of triadic … Continue reading →
