That's okay Jerry ... I'm just trying to stay within the framework of exact philosophy as Peirce sees it :
*The doctrine of exact philosophy, as I understand that phrase, is, that all danger of error in philosophy will be reduced to a minimum by treating the problems as mathematically as possible,** that is, by construction some sort of a diagram representing that which is supposed to be open to the observation of every scientific intelligence, and thereupon mathematically,--that is, intuitionally,--deducing the consequences of that hypothesis. *(NEM IV:12, unidentified fragment) Regards, Robert Honorary Professor ; PhD Mathematics ; PhD Philosophy fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Marty *https://martyrobert.academia.edu/ <https://martyrobert.academia.edu/>* Le lun. 8 janv. 2024 à 17:11, Jerry LR Chandler < jerry_lr_chand...@icloud.com> a écrit : > > > On Jan 8, 2024, at 9:18 AM, robert marty <robert.mart...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Jerry, List > > You know very well that we don't mention "what goes without saying" in > mathematics. > > > Sorry, Robert. > Interesting but hardly compelling response. > > Human communications in multidisciplinary forums such as this are open to > misunderstandings.
