[PEIRCE-L] Is anyone familiar with this book by Tursman?

I found a book called *Peirce's Theory of Scientific Discovery: A System of Logic Conceived as Semiotic*, by Richard Allen Tursman, at my university library. I haven't been able to find any reviews. Has anyone read it? Do you know if it's particularly insightful or well written, especially with reg

Re: [PEIRCE-L] A question for pragmatists

Gary, Jon, All: Jon left us with some very interesting quotes that I, like Gary, would love more discussion about! Maybe this can spur some of the discussion. 1) *"the theory of logic, in so far as we attain to it, is the vision and the attainment of that Reasonableness for the sake of which the

Martin, Jon, List, If we agree that 'logic is rooted in the social impulse' and that pursuing -- in our daily thought and actions -- Peirce's summum bonum of directing these impulses to 'the reasonable in itself', that leadership is yet necessary, then Jon's notion of a leadership style of 'pullin

Re: [PEIRCE-L] A question for pragmatists

Thank you, Jon. You nailed the essence of the inquiry in leadership I’m conducting. Which leads me to say, more generally that whether we’re looking at life as consumers or voters, family- or community members, and we want to go about it pragmatically, then we want to about it as inquirers, i.e

Re: [PEIRCE-L] A question for pragmatists

Martin, Gary R., List: The challenge that we face as Peirceans today is advocating not only scholastic realism and objective idealism in an intellectual climate of widespread (and often uncritical) nominalism and materialism, but also value monism in an intellectual climate of widespread pluralism

Dan, if I would read all of Chomsky´s, and would not find him claiming, that his genetic grammar-module is not based on logic, then I would have to quote all he ever has written. The other way round would be easier. And: Refutation is a strong accusation, and I think the prosecutor has the burden o

      Supplement: But you already said so, by writing, that for you leadership is not "leadership as traditionally conceived, namely as characteristics of an individual". So, I apologize for my redundant comment.   Dear Martin, dear list,   Calling people "leader" or "follower" is a classi

  Dear Martin, dear list,   Calling people "leader" or "follower" is a classification. Classifications however are often final, such as taxonomy. In this case though, I think it has to be said from the beginning, that the classification in "Leader" and "Follower" is merely a temporal purpose-se

Re: [PEIRCE-L] A question for pragmatists, was, Comments on the nature and purpose of Peirce-L, was, The Basis of Synechism in Phaneroscopy

I appreciate your response, Gary. Yes, serving our world as pragmatists is fundamentally about leading our lives as expressions of the summum bonum, and the passages from Peirce’s papers rooting the logic of probability in the "social impulse” are at the core of the book I’m writing on leadersh
