Kirsti, List,

Free after Wittgenstein: the art of practicing philosophy is the art of 
standing still when considering an issue (in order to contemplate it from all 
directions, I assume). My years of practicing and studying Peircean semiotics 
taught me   that, what I call, the scalability of semiotic terminology (with 
its inherent danger of category mistakes) and the pars pro toto use of the 
terms for the sign aspects (Talk about an icon, instead of a, lets say, Iconic, 
Legisign, Rheme, with its involved Qualisign and Sinsign on top) provide a good 
reason for this advice. So, I agree let's not hurry. I respond between your 
lines.


Edwina, Auke, listers,

I wish to point out some key issues involved in my earlier post, connected  
with Edwina's comments 24.10.2016

Edwina Taborsky kirjoitti 24.10.2016 16:51:

ET: > "Kirsti, I like your outlines of embryos and the 'firstness' of Feelings. 
[I think that more research should be done on the bonding in utero between 
multiple birth embryos, i.e., twins, triplets etc]. ...
.. your example of the heartbeat of the mother affecting the embryo-fetus is a 
good one. "

You seem to think that the issue is empirical. And  that the example of the 
syncopic rhythm of heartbeat is just an example, one of many possible empirical 
examples.

That is definitely NOT the case. First, it is to be duly noted that I was 
speaking of FEELING - not feelingS. Also, I was speaking of EXPERIENCE, not 
experienceS.

FeelingS and experienceS are something for psychology to study, whereas Feeling 
and Experience are philosophical (logical ) categories. The problems involved 
in these cannot be solved by  empirical investigations.

The rhythm of heartbeat is not "just an example".  It presents a demonstration, 
as such an argument with just as much persuasive force as a geometrical 
demonstration (c.f. Euclides). No one with a sound mind and common sense  can 
deny it, after any serious consideration.  – It presents something which is 
necessarily so.
--
AvB: This reminds me of the work of Henk Barendregt, see 
ftp://ftp.cs.kun.nl/pub/CompMath.Found/Coverup-model.pdf especially pages 10 
and 12. 12 could be looked at as the modified (by experience) heartbeat stream 
of feeling at a later age. The interesting part of Barendregt's work for me is 
that it opened the way to pay attention to the ethical and esthetical 
dimensions of interpretation at the level of feeling, by paying attention to 
what he calls emotional attachments.  For me, in your mail this is your most 
valuable part to dwell upon further. 


K:
Well, then : Does it follow from deductive inference?  Is abduction involved?  
How about probable inference?  - This line of questioning just does not make 
sense in this case.
How about the division into metaphysics and logic?  - Or the modern nominalist 
dichotomy between  epistemology and ontology?

The latter just cannot be applied .  From the very historical start  it was 
established as a dichotomy . It makes no sense to even try.

Peirce in his triadic category system presents  us metaphysics ( as one side of 
one coin (or 'sheet' , if you wish) AND  logic.
--

AvB: Logic for Peirce is a broad concept. Given your heartbeat example, I would 
hypothize: Let's conceive the semiotic sheet in its embryo state, what do we 
suppose to be present? Given that Peirce conceived emotion (as contributing to 
a response) as a contribution of the individual, I would venture that the 
rhythm of the mothers heartbeat transferred to the child sheet, is the first 
individualizing force (setting apart the child from other children according to 
the rhythm). Later stress is a further development of this individual 
propensity to react, expressible in a fearful or aggressive tone clinging to 
the response. Logic, in particular the Boolean relations, if we stick to 
propositional logic, provides rules of engagement with empirical content from 
an interpersonal perspective (There is some reason why the Existential Graphs 
can be judged as belonging to the realm of secondness). The cases of children 
that fell out of the Dutch school system did teach me that negative 
modifications of this individual contribution, seriously hamper the application 
of this inborn logic.


K:
To Peirce meaning IS effect.   - It does not  just HAVE effects.   Signs 
do have effects, but only in the case that they have BECOME meaningful for some 
minds (or something mind-like, which may be ineffete mind). 
Thus  some kind of experience is necessarily involved.

Signs may be singled out. Even classified.  Not so with meaning.
--
AvB: as a refinement in order to account for CSP's criticism of pragmatism from 
his pragmaticist stance. Getting at the meaning of a sentence is getting at the 
conceivable effects  if the sentence is true.

K:
 From the experiential standpoint of an embryo and a fetus,  the rhythm of 
heatbeat doen NOT appear AS the mother's heartbeat.  – No nametag involved!

In order to understand this, one has to  be able to take the experiential  
standpoint of an embryo, then a fetus as the starting point.  This is something 
one has to train oneself.  – This skill has to be has to be acquired  by 
training oneself .  Preferably daily and for decades. CSP did so.  So have I.

This is a practical logical task, just as is mathematical training.
--
I agree with your 'just as mathematical training' since it requires discipline 
and attention. I am not sure about 'practical logical' as the right term. I 
would call it phaneroscopic experimentation. But, maybe I do not understand 
what you mean. I never went into your exercises. I stopped after experiencing 
the "name tag" pain, not as pain, but as a tuone without a name tag. I never 
came at the point in which the rhythm came into clear sight, i.e. as other than 
just rythm. Nevertheless, it is this experience, together with the recognition 
that your embryo heartbeat hypothesis provides the possibility to look at the 
emotional attachments, interfering with the logical processing of information, 
as modifications of this rhythm, that makes your idea interesting for me. 

K:
Husserl with his bracketing was simply wrong.  Presenting an impossible task.  
But Husserl was an outgrowth of a previous error. That of taking conscience as 
the all there is to human mind.

As far as I know neither Husserl or Kant never saw the unconscious mind as a 
philosophical problem.  The notion is implied, however, but only through 
NEGATION.  To Kant, there were perceptions not strong enough to deserve a place 
in consciousness.  (Too feeble).  Husserl  not even that.
--

AvB: Regarding Husserl, for me, you are preaching for your own parochy.

K:
As you know, CSP was engaged with experimental work (with Jastrow).  
This work he continued throughout his life in the form of everyday 
experimentation.  (Which appears to me the primary way he gained his insight on 
dogs, babes,  ( even slime-moulds)  on the  working of the instintive mind.

I also started my work with experimental  investigations.  With a series of 
experiments using the Uznadze experiment.  So I do have solid experimental 
evidence of the unity of  the senses.  The Tbilisi school has acquired 
thousands of experimental results pointing to the same effect.  An effect we 
are not conscious of, but which can be experimentally shown beyond any doubt.

Of this research  of mine there are several publications in English. But not 
available in the internet.

Out of these I then developed a method for phenomenological experimentation.  
Then a variety of methods.  Applicapble to everyday experimentation.  – BUT a 
word of warning: It does take time and toil.  
Not  for minds preferring  sheer play with words.

CSP points out the phenomenological work takes a lot of mathematical toil.  And 
laments that people ask him to give proof of his theory, but as he proceedes to 
offer it, they get bored and leave.  – Too much toil!

Something similar happened when I was offering a demonstration of my method in 
text analysis & interpretation using Kaina Stoicheia.  Someone got irritated on 
the slowness and meticulousness.  Took hurried steps 
forwards.   – So I left the discussion.
--

AvB: The last sentences are an apt example of the respective contributions of 
logic and emotional attachments (heartbeat) to the exchange of thought. I 
noticed in the home sitting cases that often all what happened was not about 
the child (win -win), but about the effects of the emotional attachments on the 
grown ups discussing the trouble of the child (zero - sum). Yours offers a good 
hypothesis for the germ of this possibility. My educational KiF-model as a 
negotiation tool is a proposed remedy. It pays attention to both: with the 
child I have the trikon: 1. internalization/fear (sheet oriented), 2. 
externalization/anger (object oriented), 3. reasoned (a trade off of self and 
other in the light of trying to reach the desired goal). With the grown ups I 
have the Trikon: 1. indifferent (plans are made, not executed, but nobody 
cares), 2. conflict (divergence of estimation and/or goals), 3. goal oriented 
(given there are different estimations, lets get a clear picture of the 
different options and the wholesome goals, if there is a difference in goal, 
lets start with the option that arguably does least harm if it fails.



K:
Well, enough for now.

I agree. My best wishes, 
Auke van Breemen


Best,
Kirsti Määttänen
