Stefan,
You miss Peirce's main point, it seems to me, in taking up his definition of
esthetics, and then moving on to beauty AS IF CSP took esthetics AS the science
of beauty and the beautiful.
It was Kant who took esthetics as the study of the beautiful. CSP was highly critical of this kind
I’m attempting to extrapolate from the exchange between Phyllis and Stefan,
though these comments are not directed to them.
Phyllis Chiasson: “In the full statement, Peirce said that The only moral evil
is not to have an ultimate aim that can be 'consistently pursued'--or something
to that
