From: C S Peirce discussion list [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stefan Berwing Sent: August-05-11 5:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [peirce-l] Slow Read: "Teleology and the Autonomy of the Semiosis Process" Peter, List, this distinction is relevant as long singulars and individuals are the same. But when the individual is a universal in time and the singular is the content of a perceptual judgement, then this distinction is not possible in that form. (Peirce writes about singular/individual somewhere in the first part of W2). Best Stefan There is still a distinction, though. Perceptual judgements are hypotheses and hence testable, but they are not universal statements, which are the subjects of falsificationism. But I may be splitting hairs here...
