John Collier, list:
You said: …all three elements are involved in the pragmatic maxim. …there are various differently stated versions of the pragmatic maxim, and it is also implicit in other work by Peirce. My question is, *the pragmatic maxim* is not the same as “other work by Peirce” because maxims are carefully constructed, short expressions of principles. They have different functions than essays or books. You can put them in your pocket and keep them handy, share it with friends who don’t know Peirce, etc… It is true that there are several pragmatic maxims. So, to which pragmatic maxim were you referring when you asserted that “all three elements are involved in the pragmatic maxim”? Thanks, Jerry Rhee
