I think my point was just that what gets discussed is largely determined by the list members. If we don’t like what’s being discussed we can start new discussions. I’ll confess that many of the discussions the past year I didn’t find that interesting, although I occasionally chimed in here and there on say the religion topic. Partially because it was just something I was fairly ignorant on. So I like learning things I don’t know. Sometimes they end up being helpful in unexpected ways with my own pursuits. I’ve started a few topics myself including the question of the metaphysical nature of truth in Peirce. But there’s definitely other topics I’m interested in. One that someone brought up was what it means to equate two signs. I’d add what does it mean to repeat a sign, particularly relative to the index and icon parts of the sign. This is actually a big topic in Continental philosophy in the 1960’s especially by figures like Derrida and Deleuze. If you have other topics I’m game. I wouldn’t mind going back to the reading we did on natural propositions a year or so ago. There were parts of that discussion I wasn’t able to join in on due to time demands that I still have questions about. I also am studying more typical epistemological questions in a Peircean framework. It’s an interesting question to me since of course traditional epistemology is again a more static analysis of justification at the time of knowledge. There are problems with that. But if we switch to a more Peircean focus on inquiry, what is the place of those more traditional epistemological justifications?
