Peircers,
Let me just say "I told you so" and let Howard's remarks stand as an example of the kinds of futile
discussions I have known to arise in the past from using the word "antipsychologism" to describe
what Peirce more aptly called his "non-psychological conception of logic".
☞http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2012/06/01/c-s-peirce-%E2%80%A2-on-the-definition-of-logic/
I doubt if I can trace all the sources of confusion that stem from that misbegotten root "anti-" but
it may be that some of them are due to the way it makes the relation between logic and psychology
sound like a border dispute invested on the descriptive plane as opposed to a difference between
normative and descriptive angles for viewing what are largely overlapping domains of phenomena.
Regards,
Jon
