[JFS] I like to quote a comment that Hilary Putnam made about Aristotle:

also become clearer."
I would make that same comment about Peirce.
[JR] Then is it obvious to you that Peirce and Aristotle (among others)
are talking about one great big thing that has relation to several
similar things?
No. They had many big thoughts. But their terminology and ways
of thinking were different from each other and from currently
popular paradigms. It requires quite a bit of hard thought to
learn and appreciate their ways of thinking.
