Re: “On the Paradigm of Experience Appro priate for Semiotic”

Previously on the Peirce List ...

* Comments on the Peirce List slow reading of Joseph Ransdell,
   "On the Paradigm of Experience Appropriate for Semiotic",
   http://www.cspeirce.com/menu/library/aboutcsp/ransdell/paradigm.htm

BU = Benjamin Udell

BU: Aye, and let's recall Peirce's definition of "normal"

CSP: the 'normal' is not the average (or any other kind of mean)
      of what actually occurs, but of what _would_, in the long run,
      occur under certain circumstances.  (CP 6.327, c. 1909)

Good One!

That reminds me, I should probably correct what I wrote before to say
that the definition of "formal" figures prominently in the definition
of logic as formal semiotics, but not essentially in the definition of
semiotics itself, which has both descriptive and normative subdivisions.
