Where Peirce and I agree wholeheartedly




Where Peirce and I agree wholeheartedly
Is in how he defines philosophy
“an experiential, or positive science, 
but a science which rests on no special observations,
 made by special observational means,
 but on phenomena which lie open to the observation of every man, 
every day and hour” (CP 7.526)

My comment
Were Peirce living now he might degenderize
But I think this opens semiotics as
What takes place all the time in all minds
Like spermatazoa a plethora
Will just pass through or by
But when a rare one connects with
Thought 
Which through the interaction of sign and interpreter
Becomes act
A prelude to a habit or hypothesis or followup
Something actual and real to us
A candidate among a million others
For advancement to being
Yet another sign
Then yet another

Signs go on and on and on 
In layer after layer
Nest after nest
And all minds contribute 
To the same process

Semiotics is merely an effort to describe how this may work
