List,
It behooves us to stop accusing people of being literalists as if it is
*their* problem that they are literalists.
Today, there is a wind blowing through the Academy demanding that all of us
become literalists when we encounter digital models of the human mind,
creating an unhealthy
Claudio - I am equal to anyone else, and therefore, am as 'equipped'
[whatever does that mean?] to handle further exploration of Peirce's
work in the 21st century. What I expect from the List is that when I
post something that does such exploration, I would be met with: 'Yes,

Of course, we are post-Peirceans! How could we be pre-Peirceans or even
just Peirceans...!!!
this pretentious behavior, the gratuitous aggression and the silence of
others is the reason way I left writing to the List some years ago

Dear Margaretha,
Your conception of attitude is in interpersonal relations, very
psychological. But it is not about that... it is about epistemology ...
Here is for example a very vertical "*epistemological attitude*" of Peirce :

Hi Edwina,
I respect your decision to not interact with people with ZOOM or SKYPE.
But what about the phone then? Hopefully, you will consider joining us via

What about taking this conversation off list, as in literally off list?
For example, to a Skype or ZOOM session that we treat as a
drink/juice-in-a-bar happening where no one is allowed to talk about
serious stuff for the first half hour? Something like an international

I think it could be helpful for the group that has been complaining about the
subject matter of postings on this list to create a new one that would be more

Dear Margaretha, John, Edwina, list,
I concur about the absurdity of beginning a separate list and very much
appreciate the manner in which you have put it.
As for Popper and Peirce, warnings are everywhere.
Proceeding with good judgment about them is harder to find.

List,
I think it is absurd to start a separate mailing list.
Especially since its purpose would be to use Peirce's work as a mirror to
see what is going on in society today.
If people feel perturbed or unvalidated after reading the emails
