Hi, Jim,
I read at gmane about Arnold Shepperson's death. Would you do me a favor and
tell peirce-l that I too am shocked and saddened by this. I've just re-read
some off-list correspondence that I had with him back in February, and I'm
not quite sure at the moment what either one of us was

The bhodisattva relinquishes escape from the great wheel of death and birth
and union with the Absolute to help others achieve enlightenment. Thus the
bhodisattva is reborn again and again into the world of suffering with no
reward except doing the work. About the only western equivalent

Arnold was always so kind, encouraging and
enthusiastic in his post. And always bubbling with interesting ideas. Like
so many others I will miss him. And remember him as an ideal to

I regret to inform you that Arnold died yesterday of a heart attack. It was a shock to me, since I saw him shortly before his death, and he seemed fine, and very enthusiastic. It is a loss to me personally, but also, I think, to the wider world. Arnold was well on his way to giv

In addition to the story of Genie, there's plenty of evidence in
developmental psychology that reasoning, and indeed language, is a

to leave out all the others.
I'm surprised to see this part of your message
I am very sorry to hear that.
