Hi,
i have not read the text by Peirce, but wonder, what "social" might have to do with "logic", because many, if not most social structures are collusions (common illusions), such as myths, that are rather made up to create an impression of logic, where there is none, in order to cope with contingenncy. Ok, this process in itself follows some logic too. But what is rooted in what: Logic in social principle, or does the social principle desperately and like a parasite put its roots into any substrate, and force some pseudo-logic upon this substrate, therewith ignoring mostly all real logic?
Best,
Helmut

I fully agree. Excellent point! The normative aspect of the social principle and logic rooting themselves in each other could no doubt be fleshed out to some advantage, I would think. Certainly something to reflect on. . .

Gary, List,
I think it's good to remember that Peirce defines Logic as Formal Semiotic,
elsewhere explaining Formal as implying Normative. This normative aspect has
as much, maybe more, to do with the social rooting of logic as the
communicative or descriptive aspect, and, come to think of it as I write, may
help to explain the double or mutually recursive rooting of logic and the
larger self in one another.
