Who?

Semiotics has inspired so much stupidity that I don't want to take him seriously.

>>20640909
Oh come on its nothing compared to postmodern theory

>>20640920
but postmodern shit is to semiotics what marx is to hegel

>>20640929
So similar only in shared terms. Peirce is the logical base of semiotics, giving it actual substance.

>>20640929
Not if you count cultural implications. Remember your average Marxist nowadays is a perspectivist, whereas semiotic theory is mostly logic-oriented

Literally who?

>>20641030
He post-actively refuted while retroactively refuting Wittgenstein and created a direct link between Heidegger’s reading of Heraclitus with Kant’s reading of Wolff. Unironically.

>>20641070
sounds like a schizo

>>20641101
Most definitely. Another one of his positive attributes.

>download a couple Peirce books after stumbling upon him by pure chance (I forget how exactly, not on 4chan)
>all of a sudden several /lit/ threads dedicated to the guy

Is it kismet bros?

>>20641070
Didn't Wolff believe that signs were omens of things past, present and future?

Process philosophy is gaining traction because it's so compatible with technology and AI.
The questions these fields are asking are lending themselves to language and vocabulary that were laid down by these similar philosophers (mind you, Peirce considers Kant and Spinoza as pragmatists). These readings are becoming popular.
The thing with Peirce is that he's like Richard Stallman. He captures the spirit of his objective without a lot of bullshit. No politics. No dogma. Just straight sperg analysis.
William James is a bit romantic. James Dewey is very political. I don't disagree with them but I'm turned off by their unnecessary baggage.
Once you grasp the gist of Peirce, it's powerful and gives you room for creativity and exploration. It's not robust. Which is a weakness of Peirce. Robust in the sense that he writes in an experimental way and sometimes have change his mind. Even the method of delivery is rewarding. It's not a weakness as such, it's just that his philosophy is not great for people that expect everything spoon fed.

>motivation
You don’t think Peirce was motivated by his faith, considering the “thirdness of thirdness”?

>>20642256
Also, why isn’t Hegel being considered for applications? Peirce felt he was a successor to Hegel.

>>20642349
What's the thirdness of thirdness? Sounds interesting.
He could have been motivated by his faith but he didn't let his faith get in the way of his ambitions. For example, Alvin Plantinga is a logician but lets his faith get in the way. Which is fine by me. Some people criticize Plantinga but I admire him for it. But it is a fact that intermingling faith with the work impacts how the work is received.

>>20642355
Because of Hegel's inaccessibility. Peirce is plug and play with Frege and all the analytics while still having a strong metaphysical foundation. The genius of Peirce is how he hardcoded metaphysics in his logic and vice versa. Ie, the logical conclusion we experience at the end of any given event is fundamentally tied to the metaphysical workings of reality.

refuted by René Guénon (pbuh)

>>20642822
>unironically citing a French person

>>20642822
Wishy-washy determinist. Peirce oeuvremogs this lightweight.

>>20641260
> kismet
fucking ESLs

>>20641260
If you read Peirce, you would know it is pure probability. But it is necessary.

>>20642944
shut up WASP nigga

>oi vey

>>20642822
how did Parmenides retroactively refute Whitehead?

>>20642822
Peirce : New World Genius
Guenon : Old World Monkey

>/lit/ clearly isn't, in truth, interested in Peirce
>just assert that it is over and over hoping that will be useful in asserting your will
Do pragmatists really

>he didnt sage

>>20644569
Cite your sources, kike. I'm ready. I'm liquored up with a hard dick. Bring it.
