Peircers, I thought I had posted this message to the List last year but I can't find a record of it in my Peirce List folder so maybe not.
At any rate, this will indicate that I view Peirce's categories as belonging to a long line of ideas that bear essentially the same logical purpose, however radically they may vary in their number and details. <QUOTE> Post : Survey of Precursors Of Category Theory • 1 http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2015/05/15/survey-of-precursors-of-category-theory-%e2%80%a2-1/ Date : May 15, 2015 at 10:00 am A few years ago I began a sketch on the Precursors of Category Theory, aiming to trace the continuities of the category concept from Aristotle, to Kant and Peirce, through Hilbert and Ackermann, to contemporary mathematical practice. This post is a Survey of previous blog and wiki notes on the subject, all of it still very rough and incomplete, but perhaps a few will find it of use.

We have of course discussed these topics many times before, some of us more times than others. I also found several blog posts associated with discussions we had last Fall that may be especially pertinent to current business. • Peirce's Categories 1. https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2015/10/30/peirces-categories-%E2%80%A2-1/ 2. https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2015/10/31/peirces-categories-%E2%80%A2-2/ 3. https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2015/11/04/peirces-categories-%E2%80%A2-3/ On third thought, I think I'll switch back to that title as better indicating the subject in question.
