Ade, This reminded me of some reading I'm doing of Peirce's thinking:
> Hello ? > All humas are symbolic animals. > Those which developed a division between their psychic nature and > non-psychic nature had a dynamic function to multiply symbols. > > > This process developed in the East also but it lacked the dynamic function. > > > So the trouble lies in the dynamic function. That is to say, it isn't a > trouble at all. > > *http://www.cspeirce.com/menu/library/aboutcsp/auspitz/escape.htm To repeat: Peirce's motive in providing explicitly for the free, forward play of mind was to give prominence to hypothesis in scientific discovery. Instead of stifling the bold, speculative leap, Peirce wished to find ways to encourage and discipline it. He did so out of a faith in the human capacity to guess correctly. As he saw it, the progress of science testified to a reality present in both the human mind and the order of the universe. Science did not proceed merely in small inductive increments but in imaginative theorizing in which our use of signs in their general aspects enabled us to participate in a natural order that was itself evolving toward greater generality. Sounds like Quality thinking to me!
