Re: Diane Stephens At: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.philosophy.peirce/7973 Diane, Between any 2 sets of 3 there are 3! (count 'em, 6) ways of forming a 1-to-1 correspondence, and there may be reason for considering the sense of each 1. When it comes to Peirce's categories, which are best understood as the dimensions of relations, roughly speaking, what monadic, dyadic, triadic relations, respectively, have in common, it is also good to recall that Peirce often stressed the order: 1st, 2nd, 3rd = First, Last, Middle. | By the third, I mean the medium or connecting | bond between the absolute first and last. | The beginning is first, the end second, | the middle third. | | Peirce, CP 1.337 Regards, Jon -- academia: http://independent.academia.edu/JonAwbrey inquiry list: http://stderr.org/pipermail/inquiry/ mwb: http://www.mywikibiz.com/Directory:Jon_Awbrey oeiswiki: http://www.oeis.org/wiki/User:Jon_Awbrey word press blog 1: http://jonawbrey.wordpress.com/ word press blog 2: http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/
