A very good idea, Stephen! - Though I think quite many problems will arise with such an enterprise. For one thing the wealth of such contributions through the history of the list. And how to select amongst them?
You presented two criteria. Unrecognized areas of prominence etc in Peirce, for one. - That's about the whole of the history of the list! - So that does not help. - The other criteria was 'beyond academe'. - That could do, for a start. If you wish something to happen, you could start with taking up some of your favorites according to your 'beyond academia' - criterion. Jon has been taking up some of his earlier contributions to the list, in connection to current topics. I've been very glad to re-read them & refresh my memories. The purpose of finding out was Peirce's most prominent purpose, always. - So I think the best you could do would be to make a start and then see what happens. - Then you can see, whether there is a fertile ground for your idea. If the ground is not fertile for the time being, it may turn up that it will be, later on. So lack of immediate response does not mean your idea was not good. - Which was the case with Peirce's unrecognized ideas just as well:) Best, Kirsti On 2.5.2012, at 22.45, Stephen C.
