Frances, can you offer a counter example for Boris? I.e. -- is there any
topic for which a good, global theory can not be written?
And what would be the best example of a good global theory that has been
written? (other, of course, than anything written by Peirce)
********************
Frances to Boris...
For a theory to be good it must at base be logically true, and to
be true it must be based on a real sensible fact, whether the
existence of the fact is found in an extant object or an extinct
object. If this claim of mine about what makes a good theory is
agreed, the issue then turns on whether a good theory can be
global or not, and if not whether several good theories can exist
together in application to a given field of study. If a
philosophic generality or universality thus eludes a sound theory
of architecture, then philosophic specialty or relativity will
suffice, assuming that this may be attainable.
