My grandfather (a linguist) introduced me to Pierce at a young age, only now am I starting to read Pierce's work and beginning to understand why he was so excited to share it with me. He was especially fascinated by the recurring theme of triples on which Pierce's philosophy was based; I'm glad to see them explored in this article. Mind, heart, and hand.
- User23 5y agoAnother very important triple to Peirce is what he called the three normative sciences[1][2]: Logic, the science of what is true; ethics, the science of what is good; and aesthetic, the science of what is beautiful. Coincidentally China has been using "真善美"[3] as a motto since at least 2014. I know very little about scholarship in China, does anyone know if Peirce is studied there more than he is in the west?
