GR: Caught up in a million and one pressing personal and profession matters, I won't for now be able to engage much in your mode of inquiry, Kirsti (while I would like to experiment with it on-list soon when some deadlines for conference papers being reviewed, etc. are behind me).
I'm looking forward to it, Gary! But now just a quick note. In all you pressure you happened to misread my comment to Bernard's:
BM: I think more and more that the only topic on which this text is all about is nothing but METAPHYSICS.
KM: This I find very intriguing. Metaphysics is what Peirce explicitly says he wishes to avoid here. So, in terms of quotes, the answer would be negative. Still, it may not be the case. In fact, I'd tend to affirm the idea. Provisionally, of course.
GR: As you no doubt know, I have tended to be of the same mind (commind?) as Bernard and Martin Lefebvre in the discussion of the New Elements so far. However, I would tend to agree with your questioning Bernard's remark for I too see the New Elements fragment as NOT concerning itself with metaphysics... "
Although I was questioning Bernard's conclusion in terms of quotes, I was still tending to affirm it. Though not giving any grounds for it at this point.
Best,
Kirsti
