ably, so the question is are they critically fixed or not. All of them never can be at once (i.e. collectively), but some of them can, any time. On the other hand, one can deliberately choose to loosen one's ideas, if one has a method which works. Peirce recommends musement.

stitute I was a member, all decisions were discussed. But there was no pressure to make them look like reasonable to the outside.
One of my favorite quotes from that particular piece used to be the metaphor by Peirce: Burning diamonds instead of coal to produce heat.
Thanks again,

Joe, thanks for that pointer to Jeff Kasser's paper; it clears up many
of the questions i've had lately about what Peirce meant by

But I'm somewhat in a loss here, because these views are a based on reading Collected Papers. With consequent difficulties in delineating the development of Peirce's views.

Which, by the time of writing, Peirce does not find satisfactory. For the reasons you stated in your later post, with which I agree.

Dear Gary,
I was quite delighted in reading what you wrote:
The second law, as i understand it, says that any actual use of energy
degrades it, i.e. reduces its quality or usefulness. In the jargon of
thermodynamics, any reduction of an energy gradient produces entropy.
This means that in a give
tatement presupposes an analysis and interpretation of the whole text. *Is something so-and-so or is it not?* is a type of question one needs a lot of information to attain a good answer.
It's most probable that I'll lag behind with mails in the future, even more than up to now. Sorry f
has certainly written on this. My ideas of Peirce's rationale for this logical arrangement are all too vague and speculative. Any quotes? Or something?

ity to realize it for himself.
In brief I think Peirce is revisiting the basic points of his semiotic doctrine of the time, in order to see what he could further make of it, but without ordering nor explaining it, that is to say without making any kind of argument in the proper sense.
