The Difference That Makes A Difference That Peirce Makes https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2013/02/07/the-difference-that-makes-a-difference-that-peirce-makes-1/ Being one who does not view Peirce's work as a flickering foreshadowing of analytic philosophy, logical whatevism, or anything else you want to call it, but leans more to thinking of the latter philosophies as fumbling fallbacks losing what ground Peirce had gained for our understanding of logic, mathematics, science, not to mention the life of inquiry in general, I am dropping this thread anchor toward the end of remembering the critical insights Peirce gave us, as they come to mind. cc: http://web.archive.org/web/20130212171424/http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.science.philosophy.peirce/9562 http://web.archive.org/web/20130212171340/http://stderr.org/pipermail/arisbe/2013-February/thread.html#3911 http://web.archive.org/web/20130217050656/http://stderr.org/pipermail/inquiry/2013-February/thread.html#4054 o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o Peircers, My mind keeps flashing back to the days when I first encountered Peirce's thought.
