Hi everyone,
Having not been able to wrest open my peirce-l inbox for some time, I was
able to peruse the chapter 6 thread pretty much in one reading last night.
It was very nice to see the various themes unfold and develop before my
eyes.
Thank you Jeff K for your rich account of Peircean
Welcome back, Cathy!
Your classification of the four methods of fixing belief describes the A
Priori Method as private, reasoned. But as Peirce describes it (EP1:118-19),
it is no more private than the method of Authority; indeed it is more public,
in that it recognizes a broader range of
Mara listers,
Mara noted in an earlier post that she did not see a proof of pragmatism in
Chapter 7. I hope she and others will pipe in on this. I especially wonder
whether others consider the proving abduction necessary to proving pragmatism
(or that proving one proves the other).

I wonder, if we are talking proof, whether we should not apply it to
pragmaticism rather than pragmatism. CSP would not have coined the term had

Peircers,
Everyone knows that the right sort of diagram can be a great aid in rendering
Hi Mara,
You've asked: What role did Peirce think that science (as he defined science)
should play in the development of religious thought?
I don't believe that Peirce tried to answer this question in How to Make Our
Ideas Clear. We could look to the broader context of his other
