Stephen, Peirce sees conscious thinking as Thought (i.e. a sign) actively taking consciousness and directing it, rather than the other way round, as you here (and most people generally) see it. That's one reason why Peirce takes the trouble to criticize psychologism.

I suppose it amounts to a chain of propositions but it is conscious and it impacts daily living.
