John, list I’d add Peirce’s term of ‘pragmaticism’ - a focus on the practical consequences of a semiosic function, ie, a process, rather than a focus on the theory. I’d also comment that, in my view, Peircean semiosis is a function of a complex adaptive world, where, for example, matter

Jon, Helmut, List, I don't disagree with your analysis. But what it shows is that abstract analysis provides zero information about any particular case. Peirce revolutionized the field of logic, he made major contributions to methods of reasoning, to methods of analysis and to methods of

Helmut, List: HR: it is the interpreter, who does the inference ... it is the interpreter, who receives the sign, and then forms the interpretant As I have said before, this is true in the sense that the interpreter's mind is *another *sign, which *co-determines* the dynamical interpretant

Helmut, That is certainly true: "I find it a bit problematic to say, that the sign determines the interpretant, because the sign doesn´t infer, it is the interpreter, who does the inference." In fact, Peirce said many times in many ways that signs grow. The interpretation of any mark (sign

Cécile, Edwina, Jon, List, James Liszka made an important observation about Peirce's classification of signs: “the theory is more complex than the phenomenon it hopes to explain." Since Peirce himself was constantly rewriting and revising the details, we can't be sure what he would have

Cécile, List: As Peirce states in the accompanying text, the triangular diagram in CP 8.376 (also EP 2:491) indicates ten sign classes that can be obtained from three trichotomies--one for the object, one for the interpretant, and one for the sign itself. It is very important to recognize two
