Hi everyone,
To clarify: "Therefore, I extend logic to embrace all the necessary principles of semeiotic, and I recognize a logic of icons, and a logic of indices, as well as a logic of symbols…" (CP 4.9) “Logic follows Ethics and both follow Aesthetics” “Why, then, is spirit privileged over appetite as the ally of reason?” ~Jessica Moss Because phi spiral (C, icon), FEM model (A, index), structural optimization of corneal stroma (B, symbol). one, two, three… esthetics, ethics, logic… icon, index, symbol… spiritedness, desire, reason… “*Although Peirce came to recognize the nature and role of the normative sciences only late in his career, still he was convinced that his own account of the hierarchical dependence of logic on ethics and of ethics on esthetics was a discovery of fundamental importance for a correct understanding of his system, and one which distinguished his "pragmaticism" from other less correct interpretations of his own famous maxim.**”* ~ Potter Best, Jerry Rhee On Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 11:00 PM, Jon Awbrey <[email protected]> wrote: > Post : Abduction, Deduction, Induction, Analogy, Inquiry : 8 > > http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2016/03/02/abduction-deduction-induction-analogy-inquiry-8/ > Date : March 2, 2016 at 4:32 pm > > Peircers, > > In Peirce's theory of inquiry none of the three basic types > of inference is reducible to any mixture of the other two. > This too, too solid feature of Peirce's paradigm appears > to be one of the hardest things to represent within the > frame of dyadic or 2-dimensional paradigms, at least, > without the proverbial Procrustean distortion and > truncation.
