SUO: Re: CG: Re: Ontology, Epistemology, Semiotics




Gary,

A few brief comments:

  1. That essay by Susan Haack on "Vulgar Rortyism"
     emphasizes the reasons why I can't stand Rorty.
     Susan Haack is good, and I like her idea that
     Peirce is a 21st century philosopher.

  2. And yes, there is a lot of interest in Peirce
     among the Japanese -- including many of the
     Japanese researchers working in AI.

  3. And the Zen and Taoist principles have had a
     strong influence on Chapter 6 "Knowledge Soup"
     of my 2000 bouk and on Chapter 7 "Conceptual
     Relativity" of my 1984 book.
