Jon, thanks for this, and for your later post, which clears things up
considerably. Just a couple of responses:

Edwina,
I think we should thank you for being so honest about the principles which
guide your “interpretation of Peirce.” You’ve explained why your practice of
interpreting Peirce does not require that “close attention to his text in its
context” which I stated to be my criterion. But it’s l

GF: That rules out pantheism, but not, I think, panentheism, which (as I
understand it) holds that Nature is immanent in God, not the other way
round.
Hmm, my admittedly limited understanding of panentheism is that it affirms
God to be somehow both immanent and transcendant; so fl
Gary F- please don't attempt to 'put me down'. I've never said one word about
'the principles which guide my interpretation of Peirce'. [I notice you refer
to my 'interpretation of Peirce' in quotes'. Why?]. Nor have I ever said a word
or explained 'my practice' of interpreting Peirce in any way
Gary F - on a further note, what puzzles me is why you and Jon get so upset by
my analyses of Peirce. All you have to do is - several things. Declare that you
disagree, and then, don't analyze further; just fully describe and express your
views. If I write back with my disagreement, then, again,

Before I say anything else--I do not want to start up another tiresome

Edwina, as I said before, you’re free to interpret Peirce as you please, and to
read whatever you please into my posts, or Jon’s, or anyone else’s; if you
interpret something I said as an attempted “put-down,” that’s none of my
business. You’re welcome to all of your interpretations. As for me,
Jon - again, you seem to be missing the point. When you tell another researcher
that their views are objectively different from the views of Peirce - which
views are in texts and are thus meant to be interpreted [for no text other than
a mathematical formula is outside of interpretation] , you a
Gary - first, to tell someone untruths about themselves is not a responsible
method of debate. As I said - I never said one word about my 'principles of
interpretation of Peirce' - and for you to suggest that I did, and that these
are different from ALL others - is indeed a put-down.

Jeff, I'm sure I must be missing something here, so I'd better take it one
question at a time ...
When you say (iii) that "I determines (O-S)", does that mean that the
Interpretant determines the Object-Sign relation? That would seem to mean
that the Interpretant determines whether the sign is

I was just thinking about how to make this same point. My understanding of

The term is not Jeff's, it is Peirce's; it even appears in the title of the

Jon, list - I know and agree that Peirce uses the term 'determines' and this is
a 19th century usage but Jeff wasn't quoting Peirce in the diagrams. I think
that when one is explaining semiosis, as in Jeff's diagrams, then, one has to
be careful of the modern meaning of the term. Therefore, in

Yes.

But you said different than what Jon said about what Peirce said.

Dear Edwina,
Yes, thanks for adding the context of mind to brain, the Peircean
view, in one sense that brain is involved in mind, but also that mind is
much broader than brain, and that there many cases of mind not involving
