I was thinking less of Peirce here than the Frege inspired literature within analytic philosophy. Clearly for Peirce math has a dicisign. By literature I didn’t mean Peircean literature. My apologies. I should have been clearer. I was more thinking of putting Peirce and the dicisign in comparison to the dominant literature and see what Peirce offers that analytic philosophy has struggled with.
