Peircers, Here is the Figure of the Pragmatic Cosmos that I added in a later draft. Imagine it rotated about its vertical axis to generate a cone with three inscribed cylinders.

The Pragmatic Cosmos Here is the Figure that goes with this description of the Pragmatic Cosmos, or the pragmatically ordered normative sciences: Aesthetics, Ethics, and Logic. The arrangement is best viewed as a planar projection of a solid geometric configuration, as three cylinders on concentric circular bases, all subtending an overarching cone. This way of viewing the situation brings into focus the two independent or orthogonal order relations that exist among the normative sciences. In regard to their bases, logic is a special case of ethics and aesthetics, and ethics is a special case of aesthetics, understanding these concepts in their broadest senses. In respect of their altitudes, logic exercises a critical perspective on ethics and aesthetics, and ethics takes up a critical perspective on aesthetics. o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o academia: http://independent.academia.edu/JonAwbrey my word press blog: http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/ inquiry list: http://stderr.org/pipermail/inquiry/ isw: http://intersci.ss.uci.edu/wiki/index.php/JLA oeiswiki: http://www.oeis.org/wiki/User:Jon_Awbrey facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/JonnyCache
