Peirce's Arisbe: The Rationale of the Website "Born 1839 and died 1914, Peirce's adult life spanned the period from the American Civil War to the beginning of the First World War, but he is of special and growing interest at present, both internationally and to people in many fields and disciplines, not because of his historical influence -- still largely unappreciated by most historians of the period -- but rather because of his remarkable and unparalleled anticipation of the emerging themes of the 21st Century:
Thought as virtual
Meaning as experimental and interpretational
Mind as a multi-dimensional communicational process
Sciences as collaborative communicational communities
Truth and knowledge as social and distributed
Formal reasoning as graphical inference
Humanities and sciences conceived unitarily
Education as inquiry and exploration
To these from Arisbe I would add
Theology as way rather than creed
Christianity alert to the dominant hypocrisies and oriented to the best interest of the other
And coworker with his (unknown) co-worker Nietzsche to create the basis in thought for transcendence within the immanent frame.
