The dictionary definition of "embody" is the meaning CSP is referring to, I presume (because of his background in logic and chemistry): Apple dictionary states: "embody" as defined in a dictionary is the meaning that I refer to: embody |emˈbädē| verb ( embodies, embodying, embodied ) [ with obj. ] 1 be an expression of or give a tangible or visible form to (an idea, quality, orfeeling): a team that embodies competitive spirit and skill. • provide (a spirit) with a physical form. 2 include or contain (something) as a constituent part: the changes in law embodiedin the Freedom of Information Act. Gary's usage is problematic. CSP usage (as well as the dictionary's and mine) are consistent with usages such as "atoms are embodied in molecules" Or, propositional terms are embodied in propositional logic. Or, "DNA is embodied as a chemical fact of biological reproductions" Cheers Jerry On Oct 25, 2015, at 11:32 AM, Jerry LR Chandler wrote: > List: > > On Oct 25, 2015, at 7:41 AM, [email protected] wrote: > >> it is necessary that it should have been really embodied in a Subject >> independently of the communication; and it is necessary that there should be >> another subject in which the same form is embodied only in consequence of >> the communication. > > Are there two mysteries associated with EP2:477? > > What is the philosophical meaning of embodiment in this context? > > How is a sign embodied in two different objects? > > What is the meaningful distinction between "communication" in > >> should have been really embodied in a Subject independently of the >> communication > > and "communication" in > >> same form is embodied only in consequence of the communication. > > > > Cheers > > Jerry > > > > > > > ----------------------------- > PEIRCE-L subscribers: Click on "Reply List" or "Reply All" to REPLY ON > PEIRCE-L to this message.
