I don’t think Frederik wants to get into an dispute over words any more than I do. Howard, to the extent that you’ve clarified what you mean by “the subject-object dichotomy,” it should be clear that Peircean semiotic has no problem with that distinction, and uses it as much as any philosoph

Gary F., Howard, lists, Gary F., regarding this excerpt from your quote of Peirce in "What Pragmaticism Is", [] That statue, then, though it is itself single, represents any one man of whom a certain predicate may be true. It is _/objectively/_ general. The word “soldier,” whether

Ben, yes, that’s exactly how I read the Peirce quote. The signs “soldier” and “George Washington” are both general in themselves (i.e. legisigns) and thus subjectively general because they exist only in replica, as he puts it in Kaina Stoicheia. But “soldier,” like the statue, is objectively gen

Hi Sung, Lists, I so far rather think, that firstness is associated to representamen, and secondness to object. So I propose the following assignment, though just in the context of the christian God (because in christian religion there is already a triad, the trinity, which, I think, is ancient s

Hi Stephen! But why not assign Father, Son and Holy Spirit to Symbol, Index and Icon (3,2,1)? Because "Eyes to see and ears to hear" to me seems the way an icon is perceived at first. Von: "Stephen C. Rose"   The classic Christian Trinity triad is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Icon Index Symbol

Sounds right to me. Maybe the question, which is firstness and which is thirdness, or which is representamen and which is interpretant, depends on whether one is looking at a process as it is happening or its reconstruction, that is, whether one is going parallel with time with his or her thoughts,

Personally I take continuity literally. Nothing goes back. Truth even is a continuous process. So a triad begins for me with 1 and goes to 2 and eventuates in 3 which I see as the end result or sum of the consideration in the pragmatic maxim. In effect the fruits by which we are known. Books http:

Look, how in secondary literature the ten classes of signs are explained: The interpretant is always something very far in the past, just as the common sense of something that is interpreted. Well, it- the interpretant- adresses something from the past, but actually it appears in the very present,
