Differential Propositional Calculus • Overview

The most fundamental concept in cybernetics is that of “difference”, either that two things are recognisably different or that one thing has changed with time. W. Ross Ashby • An Introduction to Cybernetics Here’s the outline of a sketch I … Continue reading

Higher Order Sign Relations • Discussion 1

Re: FB | Charles S. Peirce Society • John Corcoran Questions about the proper treatment of use and mention from the standpoint of Peirce’s theory of signs came up recently in discussions on Facebook.  In pragmatic semiotics the trade‑off between … Continue reading

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

Re: Ecology of Systems Thinking • RS • TM My previous comment summed up my observations of a general drift toward “absolutist and dyadic ways of thinking” in various communities of inquiry of interest to me over the past 20 … Continue reading

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

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

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

The Difference That Makes A Difference That Peirce Makes • 27

Re: Peirce List • John Sowa It’s been my observation over many decades that people invoke the “ethics of terminology” mainly to inveigh against everyone’s innovations but their own, so these days I’ve shifted my attention to the “pragmatics of … Continue reading

The Difference That Makes A Difference That Peirce Makes • 26

Re: Peirce List • John Sowa Questions about Peirce’s use of “formal” and “normative” in relation to logic and semiotic have arisen on the Peirce List once again, but I have to run off to another appointment, so for now I’ll … Continue reading

The Difference That Makes A Difference That Peirce Makes • 25

I’ve been detecting something approaching a mini-zeitgeist lately.  Ideas and issues popping up in recent discussions and readings keep reminding me of themes I first encountered in Peirce’s early work, especially the Lectures on the Logic of Science (1865–1866) and … Continue reading
