Peirce. This list is open to the discussion of all topics pertaining to the work of the American philosopher/logician/scientist Charles Sanders Peirce. Since Peirce is especially associated not only with topics in logic and the philosophy of science, but also with theory of representation and interpretation ("semiotic"), and with the conception of thought as essentially communicational and social, it is likely that the list will be highly interdisciplinary in character. This will be encouraged; but the intention is to keep a continuing focus on the philosophical basis of his thought as well, and to sustain discussion which is philosophical in type: no empty rhetoric, no dogmatism, no personal attacks in lieu of reasoned arguments, and a standing willingness not only to be critical but to receive and even seek out criticism as well. Sponsored by the Peirce Telecommunity Project of the Electronic Peirce Consortium, and The Department of Philosophy of Texas Tech University.
