In my view, without action, this conversation goes the way of most recent conversations. The same people debating the same question -- what did Peirce mean? With a healthy dose of their own sense of same. Fine if this is what this list is about. I posed a simple question and it was ignored. All it asked was to relate this to ordinary situations, something Peirce does at times. We are talking about someone who hoped to have some influence comparable to that of Aristotle. Because of Aristotle we have a binary virtues based ethic that has enabled a just war theory to help put the world in extreme danger. We cannot have a conversation about how Peirce might have found a way into a triadic era because the only subject in the only forum I am aware of that deals with Peirce is mired in the social matrix of whatever it is -- I am at a loss for words. I find the unwillingness to deal with the real world, with applying pragmaticist principles to things, with using triads as practical bases for arriving at solutions, to be nearly a betrayal. I have hope that others may come here and see things a bit more openly. This is like being in an addiction den where the drug is exegetical one-up-man-ship. Place this note in the 2 position.
