[peirce-l] Peirce on personality, individualism and science

[gnusystems]

Bill and Gary R,

This is just to let you know i'm not avoiding the discussion -- it's 
just that we've had a scheduled power outage today on Manitoulin Island, 
so i haven't been able to use the computer, and other matters will keep 
me busy for the rest of today as well. So i'll have to get back to you 
tomorrow. Meanwhile i've changed the subject line as Gary suggested.

What i had in mind, apart from what i've already quoted from Peirce in 
this thread, are some passages about the nature of personality, selfhood 
and the logic of relations between the individual and larger 
communities. I will present a selection tomorrow, but for a preview: one 
of them is from Peirce's little essay on "Immortality in the Light of 
Synechism", the first selection in EP2.

I too would like to acknowledge the loss of Arnold Shepperson, although 
all i knew of him was his posts here in recent months. Perhaps the essay 
mentioned just above is apropos for reflection on a sudden death like 
this.

        gary F.

in that aim. [Gandhi]{
