There's never time to say it all, and I often say it sloppy.

To close: I much enjoyed _The Meaning of Things_.

Levi-Strauss argues that there is no real difference in terms of
complexity
between primitive and scientific thought; he found the primitive's
categories and structurings in botany, for example, to be as complex as
any
recent
inductees/nominees, among them Mother Theresa, Bobby Dylan, Gloria Steinem,
Muhammad Ali, and Thich Nhat Hanh.

Bill,
I'm on this list because i read Peirce and take him seriously as a
writer whose concepts have some bearing on the conduct of a life -- any
life
to be a dark glass. I hope I've made my objection both
reasonable and clear because I see nothing left but a piling up of chapter
and verse on Hinduism and Buddism, which I'm not going to do.
Best,
Bill Bailey
There's more to say, but this will do for now. As mentioned above, i've
collected a few Peirce
Gary: How Emersonian. As I said, I am too ignorant to make pronouncements
on Peirce. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Peirce was a man of his
times--and that he obviously spent too much time with Emerson's godson. :=)
Should you find any Swedenborgian passages in Peirce, please don't
Gary:
This is not the venue for debating the similarities and contrasts between
traditional Occident and Orient. I'll respond as briefly as I can, and we
can proceed through personal e-mails if you like. First, an agreement: if
you abstract all particularity--an example would be Huxley's The
on the
close parallels he finds between Peirce's ideal of scientific method and the
bodhisattva ideal of Mahayana Buddhism. As you point out, that is very much
on topic.

The human is a social animal, born into a social group

me as a given. "We've always done it that way, and that's the way it will

Joe,
Thank you for the below post--which I've cut away all but
it's identification. I don't find entelechy of particular
interest, but I'm in awe of Peirce's conception of
communication and mediation. It's ready to bottle and label.

For the benefit of those who don't have a copy
then that the
cause-effect conception is itself the relativity of viewpoint, as are the
indeterminancy and relativity conceptions. And so, I had better make peace
with my mind. Once done, I slept nights. My ulcers healed. The world was
really, actually, truly, patently beautiful. :=)
Bill
Ben,
I liked your post. In any analysis of process, cause-effect relationships
are created by our puctuations--which in turn inevitably result from our
local (space and time) interests. Time slices can be so misleading.
