Charles and list But section 9.4 is not really about the definition of how subjects are created. But it is clear for me that Peirce saw the creation of the subject as a dialogical awareness of the limits of knowing. This creation is connected somehow to the development of an individual body (a bodyhood) as mind and matter are deeply connected through the semiotic process. In modern term for this process is a self-organizing process creating an autopoietic unit, or what you could call an autoposemiotic unit, which is what Peirce calls a symbol. This symbol is a limited model of the huge argument that the universe is. We thus have this deep inner connection to the universe we have evolved from.

I apologize for any inconvenience or awkwardness, and appreciate your response.
