Auke, John, Jon - exactly; never deal just with the text but
consider the reality that text is trying to explain.
That is - don't get isolated within the theory but move into
pragmatics.

John,
Thanks for the Eisele pdf. I did like this ms fragment very much:
Further, "It is not so much the history of science as it is the
history of sound scientific thinking which I am considering" [Peirce
MS 12801.
--
It seems to come down to: never consider the textual production of a
scientist only in itself, but also look at the reality the text tries
to explain.

Carolyn Eisele wrote an excellent 9-page article about a topic we
have been discussing recently: Mathematical methodology in the
thought of Charles S. Peirce,
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0315086082901276/pdf
On page 5 of that article, she made a point that I believe is
fundamental: "to understand pragmatism in a Peircean sense, one must
approach the concept in terms of Peirce's scientific methodology --
in terms of the mathematical procedure that he called Theorematic
Reasoning."
Apparently that topic was controversial, because she mentioned a
"New York philosopher" who "challenged" it. For the complete
paragraph, see the attached Eisele82.png.
