ONT Inference, Information, Inquiry
¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤
Howard, John, Stan, & OCAsional Readers,
I am forwarding this follow-up message from Joe Ransdell
about a reference that is relevant to the discussion of
inference, information, inquiry, and so on, especially
with regard to the topics of generality and vagueness,
and their further relationships to various notions of
determination, extension, and so-called "comprehension"
(the slightly more correct term for what most of us will
probably continue to discuss under the more popular common
name of "intension").
The Plot Thickens ...

I forgot to mention, in my message about Peirce's information theory,
that the paper referrred to is available on-line at:
http://www.iupui.edu/~peirce/web/writings/v2/w2/w2_06/v2_06.htm
It appears in Vol. 2 of the 'Collected Papers' and Vol. 2 of the 'Writings' as well.
The 'Collected Papers' version is better, though, since it appends some additional
material from 1893, and is followed also by Peirce and Ladd-Franklin's entry on
"Signification and Application" in the 1902 Baldwin's Dictionary.
