Analysis and Design of Engineering Systems: Class Notes for M.I.T. Course 2.751

Description

Cited in Peder Voetmann Christiansen's papers because Paynter talks about C. S. Peirce, esp. pp. 113 ff.

In addition to recommending this:

Vol. 3 The Logic of Relatives: 3.456 - 3.491

Vol. 4 Trichotomic Mathematics: 4.309 - 4.310

Vol. 5 The Valency of Concepts: 5.469

Paynter recommends LOGIC AS SEMIOTIC: THE THEORY OF SIGNS chapter of Buchler's Peirce anthology.

Panyter says:

Peirce presents his form of the theory of signs--the logic of semiotic, Much of the point of view adopted in this course originates with Peirce, although this subject has been taken up and colored by more recent thinkers in this field (and occasiomlly presented in more readable fashion).

See particularly

Vol. 3 The Logic of Relatives: 3.456 - 3.491

Vol. 4 Trichotomic Mathematics: 4.309 - 4.310

Vol. 5 The Valency of Concepts: 5.469

Without question, Peirce, the founder of pragmatism, was first to realize the singular character of the triadic relation. His use of bond diagrams for logical thought is prophetic and revealing. His philosophic concepts of Firstness (quality), Secondness (effect), and Thirdness (meaning) are grounded in the properties of monads, diads, triads, respectively. A word of caution -- Peirce's style runs the (deliberate?) gamut from extreme lucidity to perverse obscurity! But for those who like to climb mountains "just because they are there" Charles Sanders Peirce is a man to know.
