I often recommend close reading when examining the pragmatic maxim.
Perhaps no better example than to suggest it of #1 (CP 5.402), for there is
something missing in your transcription and it makes all the difference.
With best wishes,

With respect to the comments below from both Kirsti and Gary F., as the old
joke goes, "I resemble that remark." I am definitely someone who "often
finds that the thought is changed by the act of writing it down," and I

Your response presented as full an understanding of essential points in
my post as I could ever hope. Even more, I was greatly and happily
surprised.
And yes, of course there are any formulations of the ideas conveyed by

This is simply too convoluted for me. I consider that the child's
cry is a semiosic action, a Rhematic Indexical Sinsign, an
unconscious physical reaction to an external stimuli. This is NOT

I did give your post on ordinality and cardinality a second reading, and I
think I see your point, but I don’t have any particular response to it, except
to say that these logico-mathematical issues are likely to arise again as we
move on to Lowell Lectures 4 and 5, where Peirce has muc

That is interesting, because for me the categories-topic is quite central (as the term "categories" suggests). But I see, that it may well be overinterpretation to apply the categories to everything, such as to matter and form of a thing.
I also agree, that there sometimes is obscu

Given the consternation that often arises anytime we start talking about
"determination" on the List, I am not sure that--at least in Peirce's
usage--it is really any "simpler" than other concepts like mediation,

List,
First I wish to express my appreciation to Gary f., to his lead and his
commentaries on LL. - However, it seem to me that the discussions tend
to get muddled on certain very, very basic respects.
Peirce's first formulation of the Pragmatic Maxims was about "practical
bearings". So it w
