I accidentally hit the send button and I apologize for the incompleteness of my previous post. In response to the question about the definition of nominalism, I must admit that I have always been fascinated by Peirce’s discussion of the difference between nominalism and realism. Max H. Fisc

List, I agree with Edwina’s points. I hope Peirce’s comments will focus us on the matter at hand. 87 (20 August 1908) 164-165: Thought and Things: A Study of the Development and Meaning of Thought, or Genetic Logic. Vol. II. On 20 August 1908, Peirce published a review of James Baldwin’s Exp

Gary, List 1] With regard to terminology - the question becomes - whose terms are to be used? My point is that there are other researchers who are focused on similar issues, each unknown to the others, [such as complex adaptive systems, the development of information, anticipation processes,

John, List I think that Peirce’s focus on the ethics of terminology points to his claim that a term that he uses means, so to speak, ’this but not that’.In other words, his focus was that a term has a specific meaning..and I see absolutely nothing wrong with this!! My point is different - What

Edwina, Gary, Robert, List, I'm sure that we're all familiar with Peirce's note about the ethics of terminology. But it's not clear whether its influence was good, bad, or indifferent. The position he recommended was the Linnaean conventions for naming biological species. But very few things

John, List, In the same vein, I also published another article in Academia.edu, which consists of a commented reading of CP 265, the item that follows his diagram of affinities between classes of signs of 2.264 (a sort of intuition that Peirce had of the structure of order that is a lattice, which
