Hi John, The Atkins monograph is not yet available from OUP.
https://global.oup.com/academic/product/peirce-on-inference-9780197689066?cc=us&lang=en&; It is scheduled to ship in July. I'd be interested in discussing the work when it does appear in print. Let me know if you are interested. --Jeff ________________________________ From: peirce-l-requ...@list.iupui.edu <peirce-l-requ...@list.iupui.edu> on behalf of Mary Libertin <mary.liber...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, June 8, 2023 11:19 AM To: John F Sowa <s...@bestweb.net> Cc: Peirce-L <peirce-l@list.iupui.edu>; Jon Alan Schmidt <jonalanschm...@gmail.com>; jack.cody.2...@mumail.ie <jack.cody.2...@mumail.ie> Subject: Re: [PEIRCE-L] [EXTERNAL] Re: The Thing In Itself (Kant and Peirce - Again).

Note to all: If anybody has a copy of that book (or any other reference pro or con the issue of the "thing in itself"), please find and send us any excerpt or summary that might clarify these issues. After further thought about this issue, my doubts about Peirce's attempts to refute Kant's claims are getting stronger. Just consider the case of identical twins. When they are in the same room, it's clear that they are two distinct individuals. But the differences between them are minor aspects of their appearance. Are there any considerations other than surface observations that could distinguish them as two distinct "things in themselves"? For mass produced items today -- ranging from newly minted coins to bottles of beer -- there is no way to distinguish their "ding an sich" except for tiny discrepancies from their intended specifications.
