Because of my understanding of the inherent analog nature of Thirdness, I cannot haphazardly abstract and apply the word 'matrix' to it. Here again, g...
We each stand in placement within a morphing process and see what is available to our senses in that current placement of time and space (consider Mik...
Perhaps it might be helpful to delve into the history of nominalism and its manifestations in theological (religious) thought. Nominalism (the practic...
Manifested, presenting beings acting as catalysts within a grander narrative... and that narrative exists. Otherwise, there would be no manifestation ...
Why bother? ... Because of the necessity of being to becoming. That is the causality of semiosis. Thirdness in action. An open system is a living syst...
Gravity, magnetism, entropy, thermodynamics, ... Do these not exist? ....... Only physical, touchable, material forms exist? I suppose so, that is if ...
Hmm .... I haven't been on the 'forum' for several years, but this is a good starting place for me to jump back in. :grin: 'Abstractions' are a huge c...
Like others who come here to post, I am only hoping to find others who are familiar with these topics so we can engage in productive dialogue. I mista...
Since I received no responses on my last couple of posts, I can only suppose that they are not understood. This doesn't really surprise me, because th...
I wrote to my pen pal, Dr. Richard Lanigan, for his insight on this. As always, he is brilliant. Here is an excerpt from his response to me. ... "Ther...
An excellent video! And as nominalism evolved and 'convention' became more and more 'particular' and 'individualized', it became more and more divisiv...
Asking where it 'resides' is a nominalist perspective (see my previous views on nominalism). My perspective is more akin to this perspective and this ...
Hmm... I suppose the only way to directly answer that is to say "neither?". If you are coming at this topic as a nominalist, you will probably only ge...
Yes, some of those articles seem almost as if they are trying to confuse people with complexity. I think the most important thing to remember is that ...
So... there are a couple of pages (well, there's more than a couple, but these two are in the forefront of my mind this morning) in 'Isonomia and the ...
Just thinking out loud here, but if we consider this question in light of what physicist Fred Alan Wolf said about 'willful intention' in that video I...
Excellent point! What is the 'sweet spot' of evolution, where an organism becomes aware of 'self', and recognizes that its reflection is not that of a...
I would argue against this point. Although the word 'orthogenesis' is taboo, here are some things to consider...... The science of epigenetics has tak...
Oh, I'm by no means saying that he was a stranger to a Platonist outlook, but I definitely understand him to be more complex. In the last decade of hi...
I'm not so sure of how receptive Peirce would be of Nagel's opinion of him. :wink: .... This is an excellent example of what I mentioned previously ab...
I also want to mention that Peirce's perspective on God was his understanding of a guiding principle in the Universe, not that of a 'man in the sky' (...
In order to examine this, you would need to look at what the archetypes of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have in common with Peirce's First...
Yep. :smile: Thanks for bringing up the topic. One of the biggest difficulties I run into is that so many people read something someone else has writt...
Someone living whose work I highly admire. He brings the wonderful work of Spinoza and Peirce into real application in regard to so many of the challe...
Speaking of information... I'm not at all surprised by this news. This is precisely why David Bohm is also featured on my educational website. .... "T...
@"Gnomon" This brand new video that was just recommended to me delves into semiosis and 'information behavior'. I was especially happy to hear them me...
I came upon this paper that carries a lot of information and references. Applied Communicology in Organizational PR and R&D: Peirce on Synechism, Full...
@"Gnomon" You may find this interesting, as Yagmur Denizhan discusses the difference in information compared to Shannon. This is a live stream, and sh...
For anyone here who may be serious about learning, and they are suspicious that I am only here to promote my educational site, you can find a lot of i...
Great new article! :grin: Just out this month!!! Temporal Synechism: A Peircean Philosophy of Time https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10516-02...
No. I can't teach anyone to think in terms of Semiology. As I mentioned previously, Semiology is the semiotics of Ferdinand de Saussure, not C.S.Peirc...
There is much more explanation at the bottom of this post. ..... But after mulling this over a bit, I was thinking that perhaps it would be helpful to...
Agreed. The words I used in the title of the original post were chosen for a reason. An energy exchange does not necessarily account for awareness, an...
Great article! Thank you for sharing it. And what the paragraph above states makes perfect sense. "Energetic activity is fundamental to all physical p...
Gnomon, Upon re-reading some of this thread's posts, I realized that I somehow overlooked this. Try switching these when contemplating our discussions...
Okay, Devil's Advocate. I'll play. :naughty: No, Peirce is not saying that there is no such thing as a paradox, but there is a very clear difference b...
Okay.... I plan to walk through this part of our discussion somewhat slowly, because anyone else reading this (not necessarily referring to you) may h...
Before I switch to the language of Physics, and since the original purpose of this thread is to discuss Consciousness, I want to point out the differe...
Okay :smile: I'll switch my language to Physics. I'll write more in the morning when I have some time and quiet. I get a bit on edge when it comes to ...
@"Gnomon" I took these excerpts you wrote in another thread because I'd like to touch on our commonalities and differences. Quoting you... "In my Enfo...
