Auke, List:

JAS:  As I have made clear in multiple previous posts, I do not consider
the emotional/energetic/logical interpretants to be the same as the
immediate/dynamical/final interpretants.

AvB:  I never suggested that I do consider them the same and did not notice
somebody else doing so in our exchanges.


Edwina suggested that they are the same, or at least that the logical and
final interpretants are the same.

ET:  I question whether every sign has, necessarily, a final interpretant.
I refer to Peirce's comment that "not all signs have logical interpretants,
but only intellectual concepts and the like" ...
My point is that, as Peirce points out, not every sign has a final
interpretant, conditional or not. Only intellectual concepts.


Peirce does not point out that only intellectual concepts have *final
*interpretants,
he points out that only intellectual concepts (and the like; i.e., symbols)
have *logical *interpretants.  He even goes on to distinguish a logical
interpretant from a *final *or *ultimate *logical interpretant, which is a
habit (EP 2:418, 1907) or a habit-change (CP 5.476, 1907).

AvB:  But, is not the sense of comprehending the meaning of the sign a sign
of reassurance?


No, it seems to me that "the sense of comprehending the meaning of the
sign" is (or includes) a *feeling* of reassurance, rather than being a *sign
*of reassurance.  In any case, Peirce clearly draws the same distinction
that I am making.

CSP:  I have already noted that a Sign has an Object and an Interpretant,
the latter being that which the Sign produces in the Quasi-mind that is the
Interpreter by determining the latter to a feeling, to an exertion, or to a
Sign, which determination is the Interpretant. (CP 4.536, 1906)
