Dear Clark - My claim is certainly not that Husserl and Peirce agree in all respects. Just that both of them unite objectivity with an intersubjective view of science. Peirce certainly clearlyt sees the social character of the scientific institution. But he thinks that despite social strife, science may succeed given that it follows certain central norms (I discuss this a bit in the last ch. of the book) - norms which are not relative to social groups, culture, history, psychology and similar solvents.
Or perhaps I’m just rather cynical about social constructivism) Payback time! Best F
