Helmut,
In Peirce's terms, existence is one of three modes of being. Many philosophers, he says, “recognize but one mode of being, the being of an individual thing or fact, the being which consists in the object's crowding out a place for itself in the universe, so to speak, and reacting by brute force of fact, against all other things. I call that existence. … My view is that there are three modes of being. I hold that we can directly observe them in elements of whatever is at any time before the mind in any way. They are the being of positive qualitative possibility, the being of actual fact, and the being of law that will govern facts in the future.” (CP 1.21,23, 1903) Gary f. https://gnusystems.ca/wp/ }{ Turning Signs -----Original Message----- From: peirce-l-requ...@list.iupui.edu <peirce-l-requ...@list.iupui.edu> On Behalf Of Helmut Raulien Sent: 10-Sep-22 07:35 To: Jon Alan Schmidt <jonalanschm...@gmail.com> Cc: Peirce-L <peirce-l@list.iupui.edu> Subject: Aw: [PEIRCE-L] two kinds of vibration Jon, List, Altough I see your explanation, I am not completely happy with two different definitions of "existence", or two different universes of experience. …
