Re: [PEIRCE-L] André De Tienne: Slow Read slide 14

Jon, Gary f, List, Thank your for this very instructive exchange of ideas today, well supported by apposite Peirce quotations. I found this juxtaposition especially interesting: JAS:. . . according to Peirce, mathematics is *strictly deductive* in its method and *strictly hypothetical* in its

Gary F., List: GF: Maybe he [Vehkavaara] just invented it ["negative science"] to distinguish it from “positive science.” That is what I suspect, as well, and it is not a very apt choice. Peirce defines a "positive science" in one place as "an investigating theoretical science which inquires

Robert, List: For Peirce, mathematics is indeed a science of *discovery*, but it is not a *positive *science. CSP: Mathematics is the most abstract of all the sciences. For it makes no external observations, nor asserts anything as a real fact. When the mathematician deals with facts, they

Well, I guess I underestimated how eager we are to focus on the classification of sciences! A couple of brief questions before I post the slides on that: Robert, thanks for attaching the Tommi Vehkavaara diagram. In it mathematics is labelled “negative science.” This is a new term for me, and I

Gary F., List: At the risk of jumping the gun ... GF: For example, Peirce says that the practice of phanerocopy consists of “observation and generalization.” As Daniel Campos discusses in a 2009 paper (

List, - Minimal classification, but strong : *"Every systematic philosopher must provide himself a classification of the sciences. Comte first proposed to arrange the sciences in a series of steps, each leading another. This general idea may be adopted, and we may adapt our

List, Slide 14 is the last in Part 2 of the slideshow, and I’m sure many of us are eager to start on Part 3, which is about “the place of phaneroscopy in Peirce’s mature classification of the sciences.” So unless questions arise today about the specific content of this slide, I’d like to post the

Continuing our slow read, here is the next slide of André De Tienne’s slideshow posted on the Peirce Edition Project (iupui.edu) site. Now that we have definitions of the three universal categories, the next step in chronological order is
