John,
I've been waiting for someone to take up Jean-Yves' challenge. I can go
along with your categorizations, but only if "reality" refers to the
reality of Secondness, or more specifically to the dynamic object.
Otherwise — if for instance "reality" refers, or also refers, to

Helmet,
I think what makes "possibility … special" with regard to the other three
is that it's a purely *a priori* (Thirdness without Secondness) construct.
This is what makes it so popular among conspiracy theorists, and tying the
other three to the legitimate methods of argument makes that clear

Just want to pull a chair up to this discussion.

Jon,
The self born in "error and ignorance" gives Peirce's psychological view of
the origin of *self-consciousness*, and tying this to his remarks regarding
the hot stove seems to offer some possibilities. What's interesting to me,
though, is the comparison of Peirce's view to Hegel's derivation

I've always felt no one acts irrationally. Given their beliefs, how they
perceive what's there, and their way of thinking about it, what they do
"makes sense". But I can see now that I was probably was a little sloppy
when I expressed that idea as everyone being logical. Just using Peirce's

All of that I agree with. But it describes the activity that results in

"A photon hits an atom: The photon and the atom (tokens) are the immediate

Why did the photon hit the atom? The collision ('hitting event') is the

I haven't read the Margolis article and don't mean to offer a critique of it.
However, I wanted to offer a general observation.

I agree that instinct leads to physical activity (though sometimes inside the
body where it can't be seen). But it is triggered by environmental changes.
That is the standard definition of instinct. It is not so much an

Local "culture" is like a species or a language or a market area: largely

1. Everyone uses signs, including us, the dog catcher and pre-verbal infants.
2. Peirce discussed the use of signs in everyday settings to illustrate
semiotic principles.
3. Therefore anyone's use of signs could potentially be used by Peirce to
illustrate semiotic principles.
