Frederik,

One small point that I find myself making on a periodic basis:  I think it =
is better to describe =

Peirce's take on logic as =93non-psychologism=94 rather than =93anti-psycho=
logism=94, the main thing being =

that logic is a normative rather than a descriptive science.  The use of =
=93anti-psychologism=94 tends =

to drag in all sorts of implications that are alien to Peirce's perspective=
 on the relation between =

the two.

On a related point, especially pertinent to the current run of the bi(o)sem=
iotics literature, is =

whether =93biologism=94 in logic be just as bad a diversion from the course=
 of Peirce's semiotics and =

logic as =93psychologism=94 ever was.  Or, to put it more positively, what =
would it take to place the =

biological and psychological implementations of sign relations and inquiry =
processes in their proper =

perspective?

Regards,

Jon
