List, every now and then I return to a statement of Peirce’s that has puzzled
me in the past, and try again to make sense of it. My latest attempt concerns
something CSP said about Firstness in 1898, a few years before he started
referring to phenomenology (and later phaneroscopy) as the “primal positive
science.” Here is a link to it: https://gnusystems.ca/TS/tpx.htm#1stns — in
case anyone cares to comment on whether it makes sense or not.
By the way, a few readers have told me that the high-contrast
white-text-on-black is hard for them to read. I can put up an inverted version
if necessary; let me know privately.
