Just as a bibliographic aside to Gary Fuhrman's point, from the July
8th contribution, that
As JR
points out, it is highly unlikely that Peirce adopted the name of the
discipline from Husserl; by his own account he took it from Hegel,
partly because he saw his own three ?categories? as virtually
identical with Hegel's ?three stages of thinking? (search "Hegel" in
http://www.gnusystems.ca/PeircePhenom.htm ). It is even less
plausible that Peirce would have changed his terminological
preference from ?phenomenology? to ?phaneroscopy? in 1904 as a way of
distancing himself from Husserl.
I would just add that it would appear that Husserl's first use of the
term "phenomenology" occurred in the _Logische Untersuchungen_
(1900-01), and that, although Peirce began work on "phenomenology, or
the Doctrine of Categories" (at (C.P. 1.280)) starting in 1867, his
first employ of the term was in the work from which I just quoted (at
(C.P. 1.280)). This of course certainly does NOT mean, let alone prove,
that Peirce borrowed the term from Husserl rather than from Hegel, and
in particular from Hegel's _Pha"nomenologie des Geistes_.
I just accidentally came across the book by William L. Rosensohn, _The
Phenomenology of Charles S. Peirce: From the Doctrine of Categories to
Phaneroscopy" (Amsterdam: B. R. Gru"ner, B.V., 1974), which is
available online
(apertum.110mb.com/apoteka/Rosensohn_Fenomenologia_CSP.pdf) and which
has three pages (pp. 77-79), sect. A of chapter V: "Phaneroscopy: The
Description of the Phaneron", on "Phaneroscopy or Pure Phenomenology:
Peirce and Husserl". I expect that most of those following this
discussion are already familiar with this work; is it worth downloading
and going through?
P.S. Can we get people to stop sending to the list rather than to the
LISTSEV their requests to unsubscribe from the list?
