John, List: JFS: That is important. Do you have a citation? The work is still in preparation for publication, so I am not yet at liberty to cite it. I was working from memory earlier, and reviewing it now, it does not actually explain the basis for the revised dating to 1911. The timing of t

Jon, That is important. Do you have a citation? JAS I recently came across some research suggesting that the manuscript pages for Peirce's "tutorial" on EGs were misfiled with R 514, and do not actually date to 1909; rather, he likely wrote the material either shortly before or at the same tim

John, List: I did not say anything (yet) about continuous *predicates*; I referred to Peirce's direct analogy between continuous *motion* and *semeiosis *vs. discrete *positions/instants* and definite *Propositions*. It seems safe to assume that what he had in mind for "stereoscopic moving pictur

Jeff, Stephen R., List: For the record, I was not *bemoaning *Peirce's unawareness of Einstein's insights or seeking to compare the greatness of the two men. On the contrary, I was simply pointing out that Peirce did not *need *Einstein in order to recognize the more fundamental reality of *motio

BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }John, list Yes - David Bohm has some interesting theories about the 'implicate order'. Fits in with Peirce, I think. Paul Davies also had some interesting books [and edited collections] on this.
