Avril, As I said in my note, I believe that Mario Bunge's view that an ontology based on systems is quite good.  I also agree with the quotations you cited in your note. But one thing that is missing from most discussions of ontology is a definition of 'reality' that specifically includes

Jon A., List: Technically, yes, at least in classical logic. Nevertheless, according to Peirce, "it can no longer be granted that every conditional proposition whose antecedent does not happen to be realized is true" (CP 4.580, 1906). Regards, Jon Alan Schmidt - Olathe, Kansas, USA Structural

John, I appreciate the clarification in your post: when you wrote that intuitionist logic "blocks the way of inquiry", what you really meant was that it "blocks the way" of using the most convenient, efficient, and flexible methods of reasoning. Peirce's idea of inquiry, and specifically of the
