Hi glen, This may be a late Peirce/Early Peirce thing. I confess to not having much of a grip on the late Peirce, which seems to fade away into irrationalism, for me.

Absolutely Nothing!” Well, Peirce's work in modal logics demonstrates his methodological pluralism. So it seems to me he would agree with Dave to a large extent. Nick seems to focus on Peirce's metaphysics, of which I'm largely ignorant. But it seems like Peirce's distinction between reality and existence might help clarify any disagreements. I think his conception of reality relies on a principle of plenitude where his conception of existence does not. So I think it's a mistake to limit the conversation to truth/reality.
