Jerry,
John is quoting what Peirce stated in several contexts. So he is right.
In other contexts, CSP writes a lot on unconscius (subconscious etc)
mind. But he definitely considered his normative logic only applicable
to deliberate thought. - He also stated that a person is a bunch of
habit. And on the nature of habits he had a lot to say.
How is unconscious or subconscius mind present to the consicousness?
CSP's answer was FEELING. - Emotions are something else, they are
qualitatively different. - What you happened to write below on emotion
and thought shows in itself how muddled common views on these issues
are. - Peirce, by the way, did not present a theory of emotions.
Cheers, Kirsti

Hmmm…
Does this really help?
How does a thought, a spontaneous thought, become normative?
What is the compelling distinction between an ordinary every day
emotion (say, about the sexuality of a beautiful women /man) become
differentiated from normative logic?
Perhaps CSP would have referred to habitual feelings held by a group
of like-minded investigators or some similar rhetorical gesture?
Cheers
