NH: But eventually we'll want to push on and one interesting question we may
want
to consider is what JR means by Peirce's basic semiotic model. He refers to
this,
although in different terms, on pp. 2, 3, and 8, and maybe elsewhere.
Frequently
it is supposed that the basic semiotic model is the triadic relational
structure
derived from mathematics but on p. 8 JR says that Peirce's basic model is
derived
from "the truth-seeking tendency in human life."
Nathan,
Just off hand I do not see a conflict here. It was my impression from reading
Peirce's
early papers, especially the Harvard and Lowell lectures from 1865-1866, that
Peirce was
trying to understand the logic that informed scientific modes of inquiry, set
implicitly
within a theory of inquiry in general, and that it was pursuant to the task of
analyzing
the process of inquiry, "truth-seeking", that he found himself having to
investigate the
nature of signs.
