I would add to Merrell's curriculum his B.A. in chemistry and physics at Arizona State University (1963). Does it ring a bell? Well, vagueness is an important neo-paradigmatic notion of the physics of the 20th and many Floyd books deal with it. Hugs, Eufrasio

Floyd Merrel is an academician in the literary humanities, possibly retired by now (from Purdue, dept of Portuguese and Spanish, as I recall) but still active, I think, and can fairly be called an independent scholar in a laudatory sense of the term. He has never been on the list and has not been strongly oriented toward on-line communication but can be called an "advanced" thinker nonetheless who brings a special perspective to Peirce studies. He is also versed in the Continental European semiological tradition, as are many in the literary humanities. Joe Ransdell ----- Original Message ----- From: Drs.W.T.M.

By doing so, I also found some books on Amazon by Floyd Merrel. My question is whether this guy is scientist or more like independent scholar. And I am actually wondering whether he is on this list?? I have only now seen some of the reviews and tittles of his books. Seems to be they are very practical and clear? Kind regards, Wilfred Berendsen---
