Fantastic, Jon. That would be most helpful, especially since that is "new" information.

Mike, List:

As it happens, I am currently in the process of reading and transcribing R 1343, "Of the Classification of the Sciences, Second Paper, Of the Practical Sciences," once again thanks to the SPIN project (http://fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=16).  So far, about 40 pages into it, it presents instead a classification of instincts; but if I remember right, it also includes some discussion about principles of classification.  I do not have my in-progress transcription with me at the office, but if I get a chance this evening, I will review it and post anything relevant that I find.

Hi List,

Ben Udell recently quoted from this Peirce memoir:

MEMOIR   27: OF METHODEUTIC

[....]

From Draft B - MS L75.279-280

[....] Two other problems of methodeutic which the old logics usually made almost its only business are, first, the principles of definition, and of rendering ideas clear; and second, the principles of classification.
[End quote]

I have only found spotty references by Peirce to the "principles of classification" in my own online resources. Would anyone on the list care (Edwina ? :) ) to provide any of their own known citations?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
