Robert, John, List: The *word *"phenomenology" appears in these early attempts by Peirce at classifying the sciences, but here it *does not* designate what he later defines as the study of whatever is or could be present to the mind in any way. This is explicit in the first one (R 1345:4-6), where the first branch of "phenomenology" is philosophy, whose *only *two branches are logic and metaphysics, and the *other *two branches of "phenomenology" correspond to what Peirce later designates as the special sciences. Esthetics is nowhere to be found, while ethics comes *after *logic, metaphysics, and all those special sciences as the first branch of pragmatics. I see no reason to interpret the second one (R 1345:7) any differently, while the third one (R 1345:37-39, posted separately today) excludes all observation from philosophy and omits ethics altogether.
Anybody who prefers R 1345 to Peirce's *mature *classification of the sciences obviously disagrees with *his own *explicitly stated assessment and multiple supporting arguments that the normative science of logic as semeiotic depends for principles on not only the hypothetical science of mathematics, but also the distinct positive science of phaneroscopy, as well as the other two normative sciences of esthetics and ethics. Frankly, it seems to me that this arrangement is so fundamental to Peirce's post-1900 thought that rejecting it, and instead subsuming phaneroscopy under mathematics (Robert) or semeiotic (John), is effectively abandoning *his *"analytic framework" altogether.
