are there even Peirceans? He was an innovative thinker of course, but nearly instantly forgotten and is perhaps the least influential philosopher besides someone like Stirner.

Nothing worthwhile has ever come from a thinker who uses the terms signifier and signified.

I tried reading Peirce but soon realised that he belongs to the tradition of kantian philosopers who take a 1000 words to say something a non-autistic person could express in one sentence.
