Jerry R., List,
To act means to get on with life. If commens means the sum at any time
of whatever everybody happens to come up with, we can each develop
whatever aims we want, at any time, as we go along.
From your wording here do you seem to be allowing for this.
I therefore don't quite get why you earlier remarked you didn't believe
what I took most of the others as edging towards (which I tried to
expand on - as far as I understood - in my response of a few minutes
ago).

Dear Cecile, list,
Why not?
I mean, isn’t belief supposedly _that_ upon which one is prepared to
act?
What, then, is _that_ belief?
Let us take our situation, then.
We have utterers and interpreters (and presumably a commens
somewhere).
And if we take Peirce at his word, then the only moral evil is not to
have an ultimate aim. So where is it? What is our ultimate aim?
From what I see, that aim is nebulous.
And since we are all Peirceans and we have continued to investigate
such things,
then it must be Peirce’s intention for us to argue over such things
until we come to an agreement. But that end comes at the end, not at
the beginning.
Best,

Dear Helmut, list,
What an interesting observation.
_meh_.. I don’t believe it.
With best wishes,
