Title: [peirce-l] Re: Sinsign, Legisign, Qualisign - help!

Dear everybody,.   Does someone here on the list happen to know this George Soros? I already knew his name and interests, and would like to get in touch with this guy. Any contacts might help.   Kind regards,   Wilfred   Van: Jim Piat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: zaterdag 8 juli 2006 16:42 Aan: Peirce Discussion Forum Onderwerp: [peirce-l] The Age of Fallibility   Dear Folks,   Thought some might be interested in George Soros new book _The Age of Fallibility_.  A review by Michael Maiello on the Fobes website states,  "On one hand, Soros argues, the way we understand the world in large part depends on what preconceptions we bring to our inquires and on what narratives we choose to follow and metaphors we employ to describe the world around us.  That  sounds pretty post-modern but unlike the PoMos, Soros assumes that there is an objective reality out there that, althought it defies complete description, can certainly prove us wrong".   Sounds about right to me but I've not read the book.  >From an earlier book I'd say Soros was left of center politically and by his own account heavily influenced by Popper philosophically.    Cheers, Jim Piat       --- Message from peirce-l forum to subscriber [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Message from peirce-l forum to subscriber archive@mail-archive.com -- No virus found in this incoming message.
