I’m inclined, however, to keep the ordering of esthetics, ethics, and logic – ethics without esthetics misses the beauty of truth, and logic without ethics lacks pragmati(ci)sm. -- My second, trichotomic ordering is based on the idea that it is one thing to know what is good and another to act accordingly, i.e. to realize what is known. Terry: [...] I think, the trichotomy subcategories are likely to have been understood by Peirce as context-porous (though not strictly dependent, perhaps). --- I look at the trichotomies as ternairy plots enabling a person to assess some phenomenon/entity by a score in the trikon indicating a mixture. Shells polluting behavior in Nigeria would score low on ethics. The lack of dependency might very well result from the involvement of the triadic relation between the normative dimensions esthetics, ethics, logic. best, Auke van Breemen > Op 9 maart 2021 om 23:55 schreef Terry L Rankin <[email protected]>: > > > FWIW, I concur with Edwina that the essential categorical dynamic (1ns, > 2ns, 3ns) is context-independent.
