I’m supremely ignorant, and perhaps it's best left that way . . . But . . . What might Peirce have said about, say, John Cage? Bill William Brooks w-bro...@illinois.edu Emeritus Professor of Music University of Illinois Urbana, IL 61801 United States

[PEIRCE-L] Peirce on Art and Poetry (was Asymmetry of Logic and Time)

Steven, List: I suspect that Peirce would perceive this response as setting up a false dichotomy. CSP: I hear you say: "All that is not *fact*; it is poetry." Nonsense! Bad poetry is false, I grant; but nothing is truer than true poetry. ... [T]he universe is a vast representamen, a great

Re: [PEIRCE-L] Asymmetry of Logic and Time (was multiple-valued logic)

Dear Steven, I suppose it makes about as much sense as talking about a "final interpretant" that is a moral community.. or some Supreme End. *Any* Supreme End will do, of course. With best wishes, Jerry R On Sun, Dec 20, 2020 at 5:37 PM Skaggs,Steven wrote: > Jerry, > > My opinion is that

Re: [PEIRCE-L] Asymmetry of Logic and Time (was multiple-valued logic)

Jerry, My opinion is that Peirce leads to a "convergence toward", but much art produces a "divergence from". So, for example, what sense does it make to talk about the “final interpretant” of a Rothko? SxS On Dec 20, 2020, at 4:26 PM, Skaggs,Steven mailto:s.ska...@louisville.edu>> wrote:

Dear Steven, list, You said: *‘seems’, ‘almost’, ‘completely’.. ‘inapplicable’.* You must agree with me that *your* use of such terms makes *my* interpreting *your* position on this matter extremely vague, don’t you think? As for *“This is a major shortcoming, it seems to me, in Peirce,

Re: [PEIRCE-L] Peirce's Law

Jon A., List: Indeed, Peirce's Law is one of several possible formalizations of excluded middle within classical logic, although it seems likely that Peirce himself would have objected to referring to it as such since he denied the underlying assumption. CSP: Logic requires us, with reference to

Peircers, Pursuing the discussion of many things: of laws — and graphs — and reasoning — of contradictions — and abducations — and why the third is given not — and whether figs have wings — It might not be non sequitur to remember that place in Peirceland where we walk the line between

RE: [PEIRCE-L] Re: Asymmetry of Logic and Time (was multiple-valued logic)

Thanks, Jon Alan, I think I’m aboard this train of thought, although it’s taking me into unfamiliar territory. I hadn’t really considered that a relation of negation can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. I wonder which case applies to this early (18) remark of Peirce’s: “The individual
