C.S. Peirce • Objective Logic

| Objective Logic
|
| With Speculative Rhetoric, Logic, in the sense of Normative Semeotic,
| is brought to a close.  But now we have to examine whether there be a
| doctrine of signs corresponding to Hegel's objective logic;  that is to
| say, whether there be a life in Signs, so that — the requisite vehicle
| being present — they will go through a certain order of development,
| and if so, whether this development be merely of such a nature that
| the same round of changes of form is described over and over again
| whatever be the matter of the thought or whether, in addition to
| such a repetitive order, there be also a greater life-history that
| every symbol furnished with a vehicle of life goes through, and what
| is the nature of it.
