I was having trouble with my email Friday due to those denial of service 
attacks. If my post on this did make it to the list I apologize. I’ll just 
requote one section of it that I was hoping you or someone else would comment 
on.

Kant has his 12 categories in four classes. The forth class of modality is 
possibiltiy, existence and necessity. The other three classes are quantity, 
quality, and relation. If I’m following Peirce correctly he’s just separating 
modes of being from these first three classes as the categories. 

While I’d missed the beginning of the discussion, I didn’t see anyone address 
this Kantian context. It seems quite natural to read Peirce as simply breaking 
Kant’s categories up into the universes of modality and then the categories for 
everything else.
