Peirce Edition Project November 2014 Peirce Edition Project Writings of Charles S. Peirce A Chronological Edition COMBINED INDEX: Volumes 1 to 6, and 8 This comprehensive index combines the entries of the seven volumes of the Writings of Charles S. Peirce so far published by the Peirce Edition Project. Main entries have been made to a large extent uniform throughout (especially regarding the spelling of proper names, which sometimes varies in distinct volume indexes). The depth of indexing varies from volume to volume according to the methods of analysis and syntax habits of different indexers. No attempt has been made to improve this state of things, so that there are inevitable inconsistencies. The Peirce Project thanks Eric Herod and Mark Fendry for their assistance in scanning the indexes, cleaning up the result, and combining the indexes. Index combination and layout was done using LiveIndexer 2.0, a versatile and powerful back-of-the-book indexing software created by André De Tienne, Peirce Project Director and General Editor, initially for indexing the volumes of the edition. LiveIndexer 2.0 can be purchased from the Peirce Edition Project (Mac or Windows), all sales proceeds going to the Project. Contact LiveIndexer ([email protected]) for complete information. The index is sorted alphabetically by first meaningful word according to the Chicago Manual of Style’s rules (16th ed.) for letter-by-letter sorting. Page numbers are sorted numerically by volume, and boldfaced volume numbers precede the first instance of their respective volume page numbers. The index of each volume initially covered the introduction and all Peirce texts. The indexes in W6 and W8 extended their coverage to sections of the textual apparatus, W8’s index being the most comprehensive in that regard. * * * * * * * * * * * * A Abbott, Thomas Kingsmill, 5.258, 451 Kant’s Introduction to Logic (item 40), Aagard, Christian, 4.435, 589 5.xxxvi, xlvi Abbe, Cleveland (“Old Probabilities”), 8.252, Abbreviation 440 benefit of, 8.63, 70–71 Abbot, Francis Ellingwood, 1.156, 455, 2.110, ABC-separation, 8.222, 224, 226, 227, 424 3.xxx, xxxii, 5.xlv, 451, 6.xxvii, xxviin.4, 438, Abduction, 1.xxxiii, 2.108, 4.588 8.xxxiii, lv, lvn.53, lvin.56, lixn.63, lxxxi, 42, abductive induction, 4.588 373 performed by Nature, 4.lxx his definition of space, 5.255 Abeille, Gaspar, 4.435, 589 his dispute with Royce, 8.lv–lix, 245–47, Abel, 6.177 433–38, 627–29 Abel, Niels Henrik, 5.26, 37, 8.268 his dualism, 5.286–87 Abelian equation, 5.410, 476 his noumenism, 5.288 his life, 5.39 Peirce’s opinion of, 8.lv, 434–36 Abelard, Peter, 2.195n, 276, 277, 464, 481, 5.26, his scientific theism, 5.xi, 280 32, 37, 8.258, 268, 639 his theory of relations, 5.xli, 279–80, 287– Historia Calamitatum, 3.272, 371 88 Introductio in theologiam, 2.312 Scientific Theism, 5.xxxvi, xxxvii, xl–xli, Ouvrages inédits d’Abélard, 2.52n, 312 xlvii, 279, 280, 285 Absence, 2.109 “The Philosophy of Space and Time,” Absolute, 6.441, 8.xxxix 1.242 as character of law, 8.15, 105, 129 Peirce Edition Project — Combined Index: Vols. 1 to 6 and Vol. 8 2 Absolute (continued) related to the nature of the perfect, 1.84 its doctrine applied to space, 8.108 and similarity, 2.475 false mode of looking at things, 6.166 three kinds of, 5.238 First, 6.170, 171 various senses of, 2.116–17 forbidden assumption of, 6.167, 252–53 world of, 1.47, 70, 84 in geometry, 8.xxxi, 29 See also Prescision kind of term, 6.166 Abstrahent, 2.117 mathematical, 8.17, 22, 364 Absurd, 2.118 mathematical doctrine of, 8.92, 382 Absurdity, 3.37 and measurement scales, 5.249–51, 450 See also Unreality metaphysical and mathematical, 5.251, 450 Abulola, 4.435, 589 in metaphysics, 8.22 Abunowas, 4.435, 589 minimum and maximum, 6.200 Acatalepsy, 2.119 predication of, 2.135 Acceleration said of mathematical points, 6.173–74, laws of, 3.206 8.107 parallelogram of forces applied to, 3.269– Second, 6.171 70, 368–69 three kinds of, 5.249–51 Accent various senses of, 2.109–14 as fallacy, 5.351 See also Exactitude;

  • Early Pyrrhonism As a Sect of Buddhism? a Case Study in the Methodology of Comparative Philosophy
    Comparative Philosophy Volume 9, No. 2 (2018): 1-40 Open Access / ISSN 2151-6014 www.comparativephilosophy.org EARLY PYRRHONISM AS A SECT OF BUDDHISM? A CASE STUDY IN THE METHODOLOGY OF COMPARATIVE PHILOSOPHY MONTE RANSOME JOHNSON & BRETT SHULTS ABSTRACT: We offer a sceptical examination of a thesis recently advanced in a monograph published by Princeton University Press entitled Greek Buddha: Pyrrho’s Encounter with Early Buddhism in Central Asia. In this dense and probing work, Christopher I. Beckwith, a professor of Central Eurasian studies at Indiana University, Bloomington, argues that Pyrrho of Elis adopted a form of early Buddhism during his years in Bactria and Gandhāra, and that early Pyrrhonism must be understood as a sect of early Buddhism. In making his case Beckwith claims that virtually all scholars of Greek, Indian, and Chinese philosophy have been operating under flawed assumptions and with flawed methodologies, and so have failed to notice obvious and undeniable correspondences between the philosophical views of the Buddha and of Pyrrho. In this study we take Beckwith’s proposal and challenge seriously, and we examine his textual basis and techniques of translation, his methods of examining passages, his construal of problems and his reconstruction of arguments. We find that his presuppositions are contentious and doubtful, his own methods are extremely flawed, and that he draws unreasonable conclusions. Although the result of our study is almost entirely negative, we think it illustrates some important general points about the methodology of comparative philosophy. Keywords: adiaphora, anātman, anattā, ataraxia, Buddha, Buddhism, Democritus, Pāli, Pyrrho, Pyrrhonism, Scepticism, trilakṣaṇa 1. INTRODUCTION One of the most ambitious recent works devoted to comparative philosophy is Christopher Beckwith’s monograph Greek Buddha: Pyrrho’s Encounter with Early Buddhism in Central Asia (2015).

  • And Peirce's Synechism
    Elective Metaphysical Affi nities: Emerson’s “Natural History of Intellect” and Peirce’s Synechism Afi nidades Eletivas Metafísicas: A “História Natural do Intelecto” de Emerson e o Sinequismo de Peirce David A. Dilworth Philosophy Department State University of New York at Stony Brook – USA [email protected] Abstract: The paper suggests that Peirce’s late-phase metaphysical system af- termathed Emerson’s basic philosophical ideas elaborated over four decades before him. Peirce, with characteristic brilliance, transformed Emerson’s own luminous ideas into his categorial elaborations of abduction, cosmogonic synechism, universal semiosis, and the like. To illustrate this process of transformation, the paper provides a running synopsis of Emerson’s last signifi cant writing, “The Natural History of Intellect” (1870), which was ori- ginally part of a team-taught lecture series at Harvard that Emerson shared with six others, one of whom was the young C. S. Peirce. The synopsis evidences that virtually all of Peirce’s major metaphysical tenets had their precedent in Emerson. Among other places, Peirce acknowledged Emerson’s infl uence (together with that of Schelling) in his 1892 essay, “The Law of Mind.” Even before that, he referenced Emerson’s poem “The Sphinx” in his “A Guess at the Riddle” of 1887-88, the turning-point in Peirce’s career towarde metaphysical speculation. Peirce’s conscious awareness of Emerson’s philososphy and poetry traces back to many sources (including Emerson’s long friendship with his father, Benjamin Peirce). The elective affi nity be- tween his and Emerson’s views allows us to appreciate that the two authors forged a central strain of idealistic-cum-realistic metaphysical thinking that framed the later Pragmatisms of James and Dewey, among others.

  • Expressive Completeness
    Truth-Functional Completeness 1. A set of truth-functional operators is said to be truth-functionally complete (or expressively adequate) just in case one can take any truth-function whatsoever, and construct a formula using only operators from that set, which represents that truth-function. In what follows, we will discuss how to establish the truth-functional completeness of various sets of truth-functional operators. 2. Let us suppose that we have an arbitrary n-place truth-function. Its truth table representation will have 2n rows, some true and some false. Here, for example, is the truth table representation of some 3- place truth function, which we shall call $: Φ ψ χ $ T T T T T T F T T F T F T F F T F T T F F T F T F F T F F F F T This truth-function $ is true on 5 rows (the first, second, fourth, sixth, and eighth), and false on the remaining 3 (the third, fifth, and seventh). 3. Now consider the following procedure: For every row on which this function is true, construct the conjunctive representation of that row – the extended conjunction consisting of all the atomic sentences that are true on that row and the negations of all the atomic sentences that are false on that row. In the example above, the conjunctive representations of the true rows are as follows (ignoring some extraneous parentheses): Row 1: (P&Q&R) Row 2: (P&Q&~R) Row 4: (P&~Q&~R) Row 6: (~P&Q&~R) Row 8: (~P&~Q&~R) And now think about the formula that is disjunction of all these extended conjunctions, a formula that basically is a disjunction of all the rows that are true, which in this case would be [(Row 1) v (Row 2) v (Row 4) v (Row6) v (Row 8)] Or, [(P&Q&R) v (P&Q&~R) v (P&~Q&~R) v (P&~Q&~R) v (~P&Q&~R) v (~P&~Q&~R)] 4.

  • Existence As a Real Property
    Francesco Berto Existence as a Real Property The Ontology of Meinongianism For Graham Priest, Long-distance teacher Prologue: Much Ado About Nothing Some philosophers think that something’s having intuitive content is very inconclusive evidence in favor of it. I think it is very heavy evidence in favor of anything, myself. I really don’t know, in a way, what more conclusive evidence one can have about anything, ultimately speaking. –Saul Kripke, Naming and Necessity 1 In an episode of The Today Show of some years ago, Gene Shalit – NBC’s film and book critic, famous for his wits – reviews several books sharing the feature of bearing entertaining titles. The highpoint of the monologue comes with Nonexistent Objects, by the UCLA philosopher Terence Parsons. Shalit wonders how one could write a whole book on things that do not exist!1 This whole book, too, is about things that do not exist. But if one stops to think, one may find that, in a sense, there is nothing special about this. There are, in fact, thousands of books speaking about unreal things. You have probably read quite a few of them: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories portrait the adventures of the detective Sherlock Holmes; The Lord of the Rings speaks at length of Gandalf the wizard. Doyle represents Sherlock Holmes as a detective living in London, Baker Street (precisely, at number 221b), describes his remarkable observational and deductive abilities, makes of him the arch-enemy of the criminal mastermind Moriarty. J.R.R. Tolkien characterizes Gandalf as a wizard with a pointy hat and a grey robe (a white one, from a certain point of the story onwards), a heavy pipe-herb 1 The anecdote is reported by Roy Sorensen [2003], p.

  • Herodotus and the Vulnerability Ethic in Ancient Greece
    Aicher_10June2013_Layout 1 6/13/13 3:22 PM Page 111 Herodotus and the Vulnerability Ethic in Ancient Greece PETER AICHER Herodotus was a narrative pioneer, and his literary trek begins with the story of Croesus. More legend than history, the Croesus Logos, as it’s sometimes called in the literature, draws the reader in with its concentrated drama of family ambition, riddling oracles, prophetic irony, and the fated tumble of its hero. The aim of my essay is to explore some important dimen- sions of this story that have been overlooked in Herodotean scholarship and in prevailing accounts of Greek ethical thought. First, the story of Croesus gives shape and dramatic form to an ethic of vulnerability occupying an important place in Greek thought. A chief point of reference in this condiseration of the vulnerability ethic will be, in a rather full discussion, Aristotle’s own reaction to the Croesus story in the Nichomachean Ethics. Aristotle’s complex, perhaps inconsistent, discussion of a core maxim from the story re- veals a real ambivalence about its ethical message. Since this message from the Croesus story has much in common with the message of tragedy, Aristotle’s ambiva- lence also has relevance for his famous definition of tragedy in the Poetics, and in general expresses more resistance to- wards the message of tragic vulnerability than Martha Nuss- baum allows in her portrayal of an Aristotle who recognizes the fragility of goodness. There is also an important dimension to Solon’s (or rather Herodotus’) vulnerability ethic that Aristotle does not con- sider, since it lies outside the scope of the ethical life as he conceives it.

The article explains the digital translation process through the adaptation of various aspects of Charles Sanders Peirce’s philosophy such as the triadic sign model, signification, fallibilism and synechism. Semiotics, or the ‘study of meaning making’, highlights the subjective nature of data analysis. A semiotic approach not only explains the differing realities of digital and material space and the lack of distinction between digital and material phenomena, but also provides further insight into algorithmic determinations of reality and the inherent limitations on our knowledge of digital or material reality. The same data can produce divergent realities within digital space and between the material and digital spaces. The article concludes that the design of algorithms, the nature of their representations and the outcomes they generate lack the complexity and nuance of reality, and disregards social influences on meaning and interpretation. As illustrated by the real-life failure of Centrelink’s OCI, this article warns against interpreting the digital as an accurate rendering of the real. Keywords: Digital translation; algorithms; reality; semiotics; digital–material divide. 1. Introduction The all-pervasive nature of digital technology has resulted in a new world order where the digital space has become an increasingly important place of personal existence.

  • Logic and Ontology
    Logic and Ontology Nino B. Cocchiarella Abstract A brief review of the historical relation between logic and ontology and of the opposition between the views of logic as language and logic as calculus is given. We argue that predication is more fundamental than membership and that di¤erent theories of predication are based on di¤erent theories of universals, the three most important being nominalism, conceptualism, and realism. These theories can be formulated as formal ontologies, each with its own logic, and compared with one another in terms of their respective explanatory powers. After a brief survey of such a comparison, we argue that an extended form of conceptual realism provides the most coherent formal ontology and, as such, can be used to defend the view of logic as language. Logic, as Father Bochenski observed, developed originally out of dialectics, rules for discussion and reasoning, and in particular rules for how to argue suc- cessfully.1 Aristotle, one of the founders of logic in western philosophy, described such rules in his Topics, where logic is presented in this way. Indeed, the idea of logic as the art of arguing was the primary view of this subject in ancient philos- ophy. It was defended in particular by the Stoics, who developed a formal logic of propositions, but conceived of it only as a set of rules for arguing.2 Aristotle was the founder not only of logic in western philosophy, but of ontol- ogy as well, which he described in his Metaphysics and the Categories as a study of the common properties of all entities, and of the categorial aspects into which they can be analyzed.

PEIRCE'S \ON A NEW LIST OF CATEGORIES": EXHIBITING LOGICAL STRUCTURE AND ABIDING RELEVANCE A Dissertation in Philosophy by Masato Ishida °c 2009 Masato Ishida Submitted in Partial Ful¯lment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2009 The dissertation of Masato Ishida was reviewed and approved¤ by the following: Vincent M. Colapietro Professor of Philosophy Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Dennis Schmidt Professor of Philosophy Christopher P. Long Associate Professor of Philosophy Director of Graduate Studies for the Department of Philosophy Stephen G. Simpson Professor of Mathematics ¤ Signatures are on ¯le in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on C. S. Peirce's relatively early paper \On a New List of Categories"(1867). The entire dissertation is devoted to an extensive and in-depth analysis of this single paper in the form of commentary. All ¯fteen sections of the New List are examined. Rather than considering the textual genesis of the New List, or situating the work narrowly in the early philosophy of Peirce, as previous scholarship has done, this work pursues the genuine philosophical content of the New List, while paying attention to the later philosophy of Peirce as well. Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is also taken into serious account, to which Peirce contrasted his new theory of categories. iii Table of Contents List of Figures . ix Acknowledgements . xi General Introduction 1 The Subject of the Dissertation . 1 Features of the Dissertation .

  • The Need for Cosmology in Peirce's Philosophy
    SCIO. Revista de Filosofía, n.º 12, Noviembre de 2016, 51-73, ISSN: 1887-9853 HINTS TOWARD COSMOLOGY: THE NEED FOR COSMOLOGY IN PEIRCE’S PHILOSOPHY SUGERENCIAS EN TORNO A LA COSMOLOGÍA: LA NECESIDAD DE LA COSMOLOGÍA EN LA FILOSOFÍA DE PEIRCE Maria Regina Brioschia Fechas de recepción y aceptación: 16 de marzo de 2016, 24 de octubre de 2016 Resumen: El objetivo del presente artículo es hacer patente la necesidad de una cosmología en el pensamiento de Peirce. Para alcanzar dicho ob- jetivo me propongo clarificar en primer lugar la definición de cosmología de Peirce y su lugar en la clasificación de las ciencias. Luego me propongo arrojar luz sobre la implicación de la cosmología en la concepción de la metafísica y de la lógica de Peirce, y elucidar estas conexiones a la vista de su “Synechism”. Finalmente, a partir de los resultados obtenidos, intento aportar una descripción sumaria de la cosmología de Peirce, distinta de su interpretación habitual. Palabras clave: cosmología, cosmogonía, universo, metafísica, lógica, sinejismo, categorías. Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to show the need for cosmol- ogy in Peirce’s thought. To reach this goal, I first clarify Peirce’s definition of cosmology and its place in the classification of the sciences. Then, I shed slight on the entailment of cosmology in Peirce’s understanding of metaphysics and of logic, and I elucidate these connections in view of a Profesora de Filosofía, Università degli Studi di Milano.
