* Comments on the Peirce List slow reading of Joseph Ransdell, "On the Paradigm of Experience Appropriate for Semiotic", http://www.cspeirce.com/menu/library/aboutcsp/ransdell/paradigm.htm
IA: Once again, there is a complex of related dichotomies that van Heijenoort applied to distinguish the Aristotelian-Boolean stream (of which Peirce was a part, according to Van) from the Fregean, including logic as calculus/logic as language, model-theoretic (or intensional)/set-theoretic, (or extensional, so as to include both Russell's use of set theory and Frege's course-of-values semantic), syntactic/semantic, and, finally, relativism/absolutism. This has been coming pretty thick and fast, so let me see if I can sift it out. Aristotelian-Boolean . | Fregean logic as calculus .... | logic as language model-theoretic ...... | set-theoretic intensional .......... | extensional syntactic ............ | semantic relative ............. | absolute Did you intend to align things that way? Or did you intend them as coordinate axes?
