Above is the first part of the post at peirce-l@listserv.iupui.edu, completed here, by Eugene Halton.
"We have butchered our spontaneous souls into ether, we have butchered our minds into believing that our bodies are machines and the universe is a machine, and we have butchered the earth: The poisoned fruit of our science and its cultural legacy. Scientific self-correction may be a matter of the long run. Hooray for it. The problem is that life is also a matter of once for all time. Cut its cord and it's gone.
"Creation issues forth as non-ideal spontaneous reasonableness, which may be an aspect of Peirce's understanding of the aesthetic as more encompassing than the ethical or logical and their concerns with the good and the true. "The admirable," literally that which one "wonders at," as an understanding of aesthetic (a word which means to perceive or feel), seems to have moved from its literal meaning of wonder toward one of idealizing, perhaps as an aspect of our idealizing, anesthetic age."
