[peirce-l] CORRECTION for Peirce Seminar by Helmut Pape
Title: CORRECTION for Peirce Seminar by Helmut Pape Sorry, the date of the seminar got entered wrongly. It should be Tuesday, June 20. --Cornelis de Waal The Peirce Edition Project is pleased to present: Why Knowing about Individuals Matters Steps Toward a Peircean Methodology of Identical Signs By Helmut Pape University of Bamberg June 20 Abstract: The sciences and philosophy tend to have a one-eyed vision of knowledge: Its all theory, and the purer the better. Peircean pragmatism is an antidote to the idolatry of pure theory. In its dynamical picture of knowledge, theory is developed and corrected by its transformation into practical, detailed consequences about individuals. Therefore, Peirce’s account of indexical signs is not only just consistent with pragmatism, but supplies a detailed interpretation for this claim by showing that no empirical knowledge can be expressed without the use of indexical signs. This paper highlights a methodological reading of indexical signs by connecting them with a movement in the humanities (especially in Europe) that favors the evidential role of embodied meanings – of traces, clues, symptoms, as opposed to purely theoretical considerations. The lecture will be given on Tuesday June 20, at 5:30 pm at the Institute of American Thought in Room ES 0014. The institute is housed in the basement of the Education and Social Work building on the IUPUI campus, 902 West New York Street, Indianapolis.

[peirce-l] Lecture on a pragmatic approach to objective motivation
Title: Lecture on a pragmatic approach to objective motivation The Peirce Edition Project is pleased to present: Charles S. Peirce and Classical Rationalism: Some Semiotic Aspects of the Problem of Objective Motivation By Vitaly Kiryushchenko April 25 Though early pragmatism is among the most popular trends in the Western philosophy nowadays, in many ways it still falls outside of the perspective defined by some classical philosophical problems. One such problem, an age-long challenge for classical philosophical analysis, is “the problem of objective motivation,” which is usually reduced to the question of how a self-evident inner belief turns into the necessary motivation of will, or, in still other words, how belief can be interpreted both as an intelligible object and a certain position in action. The lecture will be given on Tuesday April 25, at 3:30 pm at the Institute of American Thought in Room ES 0014. The institute is housed in the basement of the Education and Social Work building on the IUPUI campus, 902 West New York Street, Indianapolis. Vitaly V. Kiryushchenko is Associate professor in the Department of the Humanities at St. Petersburg State School of Economics, Russia. He has spent much of the last year as a Fullbright Fellow at the Institute for American Thought, where he is doing work on Peirce. The Indianapolis Peirce Seminar meets on an irregular basis at the offices of the Peirce Edition Project.

[peirce-l] Lecture on Economics, Pragmatism, and the Economics of Research
Title: Lecture on Economics, Pragmatism, and the Economics of Research The Peirce Edition Project is pleased to present: Peirce on Economics, Pragmatism, and the Economics of Research By James Wible April 20 Professor Wible will give a survey of Charles S. Peirce’s work on economic theory. Special attention will be given to Peirce’s reading of Cournot’s Researches, Peirce’s monopoly theory, his duopoly reaction functions, as well as his work on the economy of research and its relation to the views of Jevons in his Theory of Political Economy. The lecture will be given on Thursday April 20, at 6:00 pm at the Institute of American Thought in Room ES 0014. The institute is housed in the basement of the Education and Social Work building on the IUPUI campus, 902 West New York Street, Indianapolis. James R. Wible is Professor of Economics at the Whittemore School of Business & Economics at the University of New Hampshire. He is author of The Economics of Science: Methodology and Epistemology as if Economics Really Mattered (Routledge, 1998).

[peirce-l] Seminar on Philosophy and Business Management
Title: Seminar on Philosophy and Business Management The Peirce Edition Project is pleased to present: Peirce and Business Management By James Hoopes April 12 Peirce had some influence on modern theories of business leadership, though that influence was only partial and therefore harmful. Harvard Business School Professor Elton Mayo, who in the 1920’s and ’30’s was the main creator of the human relations movement in business, was influenced by the technique of “musement” that Peirce propounded as a “Neglected Argument for the Reality of God.” But Mayo turned what Peirce considered a way of appreciating the wonder of the relation between brute actuality and the universe of thought into a mere psychoanalytic technique of reverie or what he called “musating” as a way of exploring the individual unconscious. Inspired by Peirce’s idea that groups could have personalities, Mayo had too little understanding of Peirce’s metaphysics and semiotics to develop an anti-nominalist, realist notion of groups. As a result, his theory of group leadership was torn between the respect for group processes and the manipulative style of top-down management that has bedeviled theories of business leadership ever since. The lecture will be given on Wednesday 12 April at the Institute of American Thought in Room ES 0014. The institute is housed in the basement of the Education and Social Work building on the IUPUI campus, 902 West New York Street, Indianapolis. The talk begins at 3:30 PM. James Hoopes is Visiting Frances Thompson Professor of Leadership Studies at Kettering University and Murata Professor of Business Ethics at Babson College. He is the editor of “Peirce on Signs: Writings on Semiotic by Charles Sanders Peirce.” His most recent book is “False Prophets: The Gurus Who Created Modern Management and Why Their Ideas Are Bad for Business Today.” He is presently working on a book entitled “Moral Leadership: George W. Bush’s Example of How and How Not to Do It.” The Indianapolis Peirce Seminar meets on an irregular basis at the offices of the Peirce Edition Project (902 West New York Street, ES 0010, Indianapolis, IUPUI campus, Indianapolis).
