Michael... Good question and nice issue for me to discuss. Let me refresh my memory and reread my notes. I will get back to you soon with a better reply. For now do a search on the Peirce List websites. The several archive addresses are: <http://lyris.ttu.edu/read/?forum=peirce-l> <http://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.philosophy.peirce> <http://www.cspeirce.com/> Let me know if you find something worthwhile. -Frances
-----Original Message----- From: Michael Brady [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 2:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Mapping Frances, I have a question: In Peircean philosophy, how is the notion or process of mapping (of correlating one idea with another, or an idea with an external object) developed and explained? Not a trick question! I know Peirce was a cartographer for the U.S. Geodetic Survey, and developed a quincuncial projection. I'm interested in the mental or conceptual process of associating two things such that one represents the other and "is mapped onto" the other.
