Re: Terry Bristol At: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.philosophy.peirce/8029 In the passage I quoted, Peirce is describing a critical juncture in the evolution of our physical understanding. One of the things we can see in the formula F = ma is the transition from an intuitive, dualistic, cause-effect conception of force to a geometric description of change in differential, relative terms. To observe all that in the physics of his day was not only perceptive but downright prescient. But my present interest is more directed to this question: “Is there a similar transition to be expected in the evolution of semiotics, the theory of signs, or the theory of inquiry itself?” Developing a conceptual framework that allows us to consider that question in any productive way will require us to pursue the matter of “Thirdness as it naturally arises … more generally in systems theory.” Regards, Jon -- academia: http://independent.academia.edu/JonAwbrey inquiry list: http://stderr.org/pipermail/inquiry/ mwb: http://www.mywikibiz.com/Directory:Jon_Awbrey oeiswiki: http://www.oeis.org/wiki/User:Jon_Awbrey word press blog 1: http://jonawbrey.wordpress.com/ word press blog 2: http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the PEIRCE-L listserv.
