Harry, List, Yes, that is the core idea of Peirce's approach to semiotics, critical to his theory of inquiry and the whole perspective of pragmatism. For the past 15 years or so, unfortunately, I've watched the "fashion of ontologism" (FOO) obscure his central insights. I can but hope that the days of FOO are numbered and will quickly fade into fadish oblivion.

-----Original Message----- From: Jon Awbrey [mailto:jawb...@att.net] Sent: 19 June 2015 20:40 To: Helmut Raulien Cc: Peirce List Subject: [PEIRCE-L] Re: Survey of Relation Theory . 1 Helmut, List, I wasn't completely sure about the meaning of your question: • "Are interpretants an own class?" Is "own" a translation of "eigen" maybe? At any rate I went with my best guess and took you to be asking whether interpretants (and the other two classes) were ontologically distinctive in some way. I rewrote my last reply as a blog post with this interpretation in mind: • Relations & Their Relatives : 9 ( http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2015/06/19/relations-their-relatives-9/ ) Please let me know if my reading of your sense is right or not. Regards, Jon
