I know Peirce's ordering and think it could be amended because it is in its present form more a speculation than an articulation of a mode of action. Ethics should precede Aesthetics and the third should be seen in a triad. Seems to me logic transcends and is in all elements of the triad. Going back to Peirce's statement seems to me to suggest that there the matter rests. It doesn't.
