John, Thanks for the Eisele pdf. I did like this ms fragment very much: Further, "It is not so much the history of science as it is the history of sound scientific thinking which I am considering" [Peirce MS 12801. -- It seems to come down to: never consider the textual production of a scientist only in itself, but also look at the reality the text tries to explain. AukeOp 2 augustus 2020 om 14:13 schreef "John F. Sowa" <s...@bestweb.net>: Carolyn Eisele wrote an excellent 9-page article about a topic we have been discussing recently: Mathematical methodology in the thought of Charles S. Peirce, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0315086082901276/pdf On page 5 of that article, she made a point that I believe is fundamental: "to understand pragmatism in a Peircean sense, one must approach the concept in terms of Peirce's scientific methodology -- in terms of the mathematical procedure that he called Theorematic Reasoning." Apparently that topic was controversial, because she mentioned a "New York philosopher" who "challenged" it. For the complete paragraph, see the attached Eisele82.png. John
