Since i moved to Windows 7, i haven’t used the Intelex CD-ROM because i saved the CP files onto my computer after i found that each volume (except v.3, for some reason) can be saved as a single file. This is perfectly legal as long as you don’t share the files with anyone else, and though it has

[peirce-l] Hypostatic Abstraction

2012-01-27 Thread Jon Awbrey
Peircers, The transformation on logical relations that Peirce described as "hypostatic abstraction" is key to understanding the realm of abstract objects, in particular, mathematical objects. It is an example of a "reflective operation", one that links a relation of a given arity to a relation

Jerry, Kirsti, list, I've certainly not yet gone through all of the material in Moore's edition of Peirce. Thus far I have concentrated my attention to those parts dealing with issues in set theory, [infinitesimal] analysis, some number, a bit of geometry, and the role of mathematics in educat

Malgosia: Thanks for your insights. I concur that the concepts of unity (units?, terms?) and consistency are critical. But, in so far as I understand the concept of logic (logos?, ratio?, rational?) the principle objective is the notion of a conclusion (or a consequence). Apparently, many d

Kristi, List : Thank you for your comments...may I ask what motivates your interest in CSP's writings on chemistry? I am not aware of any writings of CSP that are strictly on chemistry. One finds CSP uses chemical evidence in numerous places and ways. The most obvious is the relation between g
