I agree with Edwina, for once,
The Taoist philosophy extols "moo-wee" (in Korean) which translates into
"no action" or "not doing" as far better than doing something unnecessary,
wasteful, harmful or stupid.
With all the best.

Edwina,
I find it surprising that there is so much falsity in the world.
Think of politics. It is not surprising that some politicians
think it to their advantage to play false with the people they
are supposed to represent. It is surprising that the people
buy their lies as long as they do. N
Creativity is inherent. To the extent that teaching in the sense of formal
education enters the picture, it seems neutral at best and in many contexts
destructive of creativity. I am not sure what Peirce thinks about what is
inherent within a person and what is acquired, but the statement you quote
That's an interesting comment, Gary R - but I don't agree. I don't think that
creativity is something that can or must be taught. I think that we humans are
naturally curious, exploratory and thus, creative. You can watch any young
child at play to see this, as they put together strange sandpile
Edwina, Jon, list,
A friend of mine, a Peirce scholar not currently in this forum, just
happened to include this comment in a personal note. I thought it had some
relevance.
To the extent that humans are not taught to be creative, they will be
destructive (even if only by default; even doing noth

last year i had a short exchange with Vinicius about a database
containing all the bibliographic info for the ms, letters, published
works and the crossreferences to the CP, W and the online material. I
talked big then and said the coding could be only hours or a couple of
days work. I
You are playing games with us, Jon! You haven't said WHY you consider that
people 'prefer falsity to truth, illusion to reality'.
And I don't agree with your conclusion, for it carries within it an
assumption that truth and reality are unpleasant. Are they?
What about - the fact (truth, real
A. Because people prefer falsity to truth, illusion to reality.

Jon, I see what you mean, but I think "anti-psychologism" is accurate
enough, given Peirce's frequently vociferous statements that logic should
NOT draw principles from psychology. But maybe we should wait until next
week for that discussion, after Jeff Kasser leads off a new thread on
Chapter 2.

I didn’t know CP was available as an ebook. I looked on Amazon but didn’t see
it. Where did you get the ebook version?

Frederik, List,The book's leitmotif of not limiting dicisigns to human language sounds right, and I look forward to finding out how you develop this part of your treatment as I continue reading the book. However, as your compatriot Louis Hjelmslev also insisted (successfully, in my opinion), human

Frederik,
One small point that I find myself making on a periodic basis: I think it is better to describe
Peirce's take on logic as "non-psychologism" rather than anti-psychologoism", the main thing bein
Why "Natural Propositions"?
The book "Natural Propositions" grew out of my investigation of Peirce's
general notion of diagrams and diagrammatical reasoning in "Diagrammatology"
(2007). If it is indeed the case that all deduction takes place by means of
transformation of diagrams, implicitly or
Esteemed members of the peirce-l and biosemiotics lists,
Today we begin an online seminar that will continue into 2015, based on
Frederik Stjernfelt's Natural Propositions (henceforth NP), which was
published earlier this year. In some respects this seminar will resemble the
study of Cornelis de W
