John, Edwina, Michael, List:

I seem to recall being scolded more than once on-List for allegedly putting
words in Peirce's mouth.  In this case, he never used the term "objectified
idealism," but he did use "objective idealism" and explicitly endorsed it
as "the one intelligible theory of the universe" (CP 6.25, EP 1:293,
1891).  It strikes me as a bit presumptuous to suggest, 129 years later,
that "he ought to have said" something different from what he actually did
say.
