Re: [PEIRCE-L] Re: Did Peirce Anticipate the Space-Time Continuum?

Dear listers, I do not think the title of this thread is well-thought. There is nothing such as a "Space-Time Continuum" which could be reasonably discussed about. Even though it is often repeated chain of words. For the first: Continuity does not mean the same as does 'continuum'. - and

Jerry, list, In my view (with no access to the latest writings of CSP) did not just anticipate continuity, but grasped it, both in respect of space and time. But he did not solve the new kinds of problems arising with those. One essential issue, to my mind, is that he advised not to mix them

Jon, Thanks for your prompt response. I've read your mails, I do know you see the problem. Kirsti Jon Awbrey kirjoitti 29.5.2017 18:36: Kirsti, List, I know what you mean about the title but decided to take it more as a reference to the revolution in physics that began with relativity and

Re: [PEIRCE-L] Re: Did Peirce Anticipate the Space-Time Continuum?

Kirsti, List: Could you expand your intervention to give some examples of how YOU assign tangible meaning to CP 1.501? Other comments will have to wait, but for one. A Euclidian geometric line has continuity. A Euclidian geometric line is continuous. A Continuum is continuous. Do you agree

Kirsti, List, I know what you mean about the title but decided to take it more as a reference to the revolution in physics that began with relativity and quantum mechanics in the last century than any particular issue about the nature of continua. Anyway, I tried to focus on the underlying

John and list, Peirce’s “Improvement on the Gamma Graphs” (CP 4.573-84) in indeed a fascinating read; Frederik Stjernfelt comments on it extensively in Chapter 8 of Natural Propositions. But according to Don Roberts (1973, p.89), it’s from the spring of 1906, and preceded the drafts of the

Gary, List ... Re: http://gnusystems.ca/wp/2017/05/rhematics/ I hope to comment more fully, eventually, but the uses to which Susan Awbrey and I turned Aristotle's passage from De Interp can be found in our paper from 1992/1995: * Awbrey, J.L., and Awbrey, S.M. (Autumn 1995), “Interpretation

Peircers, In our “Inquiry as Action : Risk of Inquiry” paper, originally presented at a conference whose theme was “Hermeneutics and the Human Sciences”, Susan and I sought to trace the interminglings of signs and inquiry and the theories thereof. We pursued their trajectory through three
