Subject: Open Peirce interests
Reply-To: taborsky(a)primus.ca
With the opening of this new site for the open and exploratory discussion of, among other
things, the use of Peirce in the analysis of the modern world, I'd like to outline,
briefly, my interests in this area.
I consider that the triadic semiosis is both a continuous process in the generation of
matter on this planet - and- can also be understood as the morphological form of discrete
entities. That is, a cell is both a triadic semiosic unit and an active process of the
semiosic processing of matter...connected and networked to other semiosic units/processes.
I consider this outline well-documented within Peircean texts.
This view also goes along with my understanding that Peirce's 'objective
idealism' is a view that neither Mind nor Matter are primordial but that both are
co-evolving correlates. {See 6.24 and other texts].
And as such - I am interested in examining the world as a Complex Adaptive System, which
means that both variety and stability are correlates in this generative, adaptive,
'far-from-equilibrium' world - with no final state.
These are major areas of my interest, which means that I consider that the Peircean
framework is applicable to the physic-chemical, biological and societal/conceptual
realms.
