Gary F, Thank you for doing the work of extracting all the slides and transcribing them to text that can be copied and discussed. Now that each slide has been discussed separately, it would be useful to scroll forward and backward through them and discuss their relationships to one another, to Peirce's writings, and to writings by other authors during the century after Peirce. It would be useful to have an HTML file with each slide followed by the transcription. But it would also be useful to have a pointer following each slide to a recording of De Tienne's presentation. After reading a slide, it would be good to jump to the recording to hear what he said to the audience at the presentation. Do you have any thoughts or plans about that? I admit that I have criticized some of his comments. I certainly admit that he has a very strong background in his long-term study of Peirce's writings and the years of publications during the past century. But his final comments about the science egg raise serious questions: 1. Does Peirce mean that phaneroscopy is only nascent as a science, and not yet a full-blown one? But clearly phaneroscopy is no ordinary science. And yet he is sure that it is at once necessary and fundamental ... 2. Is it a call for a community of phaneroscopists to gather and start institutionalizing the theory and practice of phaneroscopy? 3. Is it because phaneroscopy is the first positive science that it is a science-egg and will always be a science-egg? 4. Is it because the ever-streaming Phaneron encloses EVERY possibility, every actuality, every generality as firsts? 5. Is it because it originates any inquiry in any domain? Is it the egg from which all sciences get hatched? Does it need to be fertilized? By what? 6. Can we break that egg? Is it good? Does it have a sunny side or is it hopelessly scrambled? These are important issues to discuss. John
