Hi Mike, list: Here is something by Peir...uh, I mean Plato and Emerson. If only Peirce, then it should be treated as new information.
*"For everything that exists there are three instruments by which the knowledge of it is necessarily imparted; fourth, there is the knowledge itself, and, as fifth, we must count the thing itself which is known and truly exists.* *Athenian Stranger. I mean that we know the essence, and that we know the definition of the essence, and the name — these are the three; and there are two questions which may be raised about anything.* *Cleinias. How two?* *Stranger. Sometimes **a person may give** the name and ask the definition; or he may give the definition and ask the name.* The old Sphinx bit her thick lip,-- Said, "Who taught thee me to name? I am the spirit, yoke-fellow; *Of thine eye I am eyebeam.* *You can write down the word “star”; but that does not make you the creator of the word, nor if you erase it have you destroyed the word.* *Symbols grow. They come into being by development out of other signs, particularly from likenesses or from mixed signs partaking of the nature of likenesses and symbols. * *The symbol may, with Emerson’s sphynx, (8) <https://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/us/peirce1.htm#8> say to man,* *Of thine eye I am eyebeam.* Hth, Jerry R On Thu, Sep 29, 2016 at 11:40 AM, Mike Bergman <m...@mkbergman.com> wrote: > Fantastic, Jon.
