Re: "Communicational Communities"
The etymology of "community" tells us that "munus" means duty, gift, or service,
so the original idea seems rooted in concepts of common duty and shared service.

I agree with Jerry's concern here and have a similar internal debate going on.
Mine centers on the very notion of "communication" which appears to me to be a
way of speaking about the pair: expression and apprehension. So that when

Jerry & All,
Too late to start a full discussion, and I will have to dig up some notes
that I wrote a long time ago, but here is a collection of links to ideas
that I will be taking as fundamental when it comes to sign relations,
triadic relations, and relations in general.

Jerry,
Your question to me is:
JR notion that 90% of CSP is this or that is an hypothesis that seems to be a
diminishment of CSP's lifework. Anything less than 100% postulates is a
division of an indivisible. What would the other 10% be?
There is no easy answer to this for a number of reasons
Perhaps Peirce would have appreciated the irony that the AI and connectionist
insights into man-machine interaction he inspired are creating robotic

This comment is sort of a ramble over various topics from recent contributors.

Thanks for this Eugene. If you credit Brent, the most serious thing IMO on

Dear Stephen,
In support of what you say concerning that we are all a spectrum,
including less than admirable things as well as admirable things, let me quote
something I find admirable from near the beginning of the very same letter of
1908, where Peirce says:
"Unless t
Let me spare you the difficulty of reading the part of my note that was
unintelligible. It should read:

realism. I could cite less than admirable things about numerous heroes of

Let's put it this way and this is but a personal view. Without Neitzsche,
some of whose stated values and positions are nonsensical or at least
painfully familiar, I never would have sensed the mission to be a revaluer

Peir
Ha!
Apart from the possibility of irony, which I commonly find in Peirce
more than others do, I think it is clear that matters of society and
judgment of character were some of Peirce's weakest points, which is
why I switch to Dewey when it comes to practical wit on those scores.

Dear Stephen et al.,
But what about this, a darker side of Peirce from a letter to Lady
Welby of December 28, 1908. Though against English liberalism (update to
today's "neoliberalism") as futile rationalism, Peirce's alternative is not a
more inclusive democracy, but one in which p
