3.2.10.  The Pragmatic Cosmos (cont.)

Before advancing to more detailed considerations,
let us recapitulate in short order the schematism
of the "pragmatically ordered normative sciences".

Logic, ethics, and aesthetics, in that order, cannot succeed in any
of their aims, whether they turn to contemplating the natures of the
true, the just, and the beautiful, respectively, for their own sakes,
whether they turn to speculating on the certificates, the semblances,
or the more species tokens of these goods, as they might be utilized
toward a divergent conception of their values, or whether they turn,
converting all from the one forum to the next market, and back again,
in an endless series of exchanges, not unless their prospective agents
possess the initial capital that can be supplied solely by competencies
in the corresponding intellectual virtues, and until they are willing to
risk the stakes of adequately generous overhead investments on the tender
of orders that are demanded of the bearer to fund the performance of the
associated practical disciplines, namely, those that are appropriate to
the good of signs, the good of acts, and the good of aims in themselves.

In summary, then, the domains and the disciplines of logic, ethics, and
aesthetics, in that order, are placed so aptly in regard to one another
that each one waits on the order of its own assigned watch and each one
maintains its own due monitory function with respect to all of the ones
that follow on after it.
