Jon A.S., list,
I discussed it many years ago on peirce-l. I don't know how much of what
I said then I'd still say now. Generally I'm doubtful of ideas of the
true as a species of the good or vice versa. I suspect that that's like
trying to see momentum as a species of energy, or vice versa.
I'm a 'four-ist'. I came to Peirce originally because I couldn't find
any serious philosophical fourists, so I searched the Internet for
"trichotomy," and soon found Joe Ransdell's Arisbe website. I liked the
way that Peirce pursued a recurrent logical pattern.
Here's an example of how I look at things.
will, conation strong - ethics, character, etc.
ability, dealing apt - competency
affectivity good (healthy, as in a healthy appreciation) -
sensibility, aesthetics, values
cognition true - intelligence, knowledge, logic
So it would be difficult to use my ideas to resolve an issue within
Peircean philosophy.
I've some websites where I discuss these things, but I haven't gotten
into a classification of normatives there. If they're to be ordered,
then I think it should be the above order or the reverse of the above order.

Ben U., List:
You hinted at what I think is the key issue for me right now--if logic
is a species of ethics (theory), then it seems to me that inquiry is a
species of ingenuity (practice), rather than the other way
around. With that in mind ...
BU: For my own part, I already would do the classification and
ordering of the normative sciences (esthetics, ethics, logic)
differently, but that's a topic from the past and maybe for the
future and maybe not.
Can you point me to where I can find your past discussion(s) of this?
I am interested in learning how and why you would classify and order
the normative sciences differently from Peirce.
