Jon AS, List I've been writing a paper with a tight deadline and haven't had time to write longer emails. And this subject gets into too many issues to be discussed briefly. JAS> For whatever reason, Peirce more commonly employed "mathematical logic," "logic of mathematics," or "mathematics of logic" for formal logic... Brief comment: CP has 119 instances of 'formal logic', and Peirce's usage is consistent with 21st c. usage of that term. That's a strong reason. The other terms are less common. When I finish the article I'm writing, I'll post a note to Peirce-L. John
