A methodologically sound analysis of the depth and scope of Schiller's influence on Peirce's mature thought requires three steps: (i) a preliminary analysis of the passages that could support the hypothesis of a protracted influence and thus might also indicate its systematic vectors. In case such an analysis was to give positive results, it would (ii) become necessary to explore those juvenilia that document Peirce's early reception of Schiller, in order to (iii) attempt to identify those ideas that render intelligible the reemergence of Schiller in Peirce's thought after 1900. Based on the results that our preliminary architectonic contextualization of Peirce's reminiscences of his juvenile study of the AEsthetic Letters yielded in a twin-paper, the present paper focusses on the second and third step. We thus aim to show that the threefold appearance Schiller's categories make in " an almost unrecognizable disguise " —as moments of logical determination, as individual and collective mental states of socialized minds shaped by the relations of elementary psychic drives, and as stages of historical processes—first acted as the catalyst for Peirce's early understanding of the shortcomings of Kant's categoriology, and was consequently 'fated' to later reemerge in view of determinate architectonic challenges Peirce found himself confronted with while working on the coenoscopic redesign of the philosophical sciences in the years from 1900 to 1903. The influence Schiller exerted on Peirce, therefore, originates in his prefiguration of Peirce's conception of categoriality and the coherence of architectonic uses it enables, especially as a means for the prescisive stratification of the—phenomenal, normative and metaphysico-entelechial—components of common experience and the modes of rationality embodied therein.

This book arose from the author’s recent dissertation written under the Gerhard Schnrich at Munich. It focuses on Peirce’s theory of categories and his epistemology. According to Baltzer, what is distinctive in Peirce’s theory of knowledge is that he reconstrues objects as “knots in networks of relations.” The phrase may ring a bell. It suggests a structuralist interpretation of Peirce, influenced by the Munich environs. The study aims to shows how Peirce’s theory of categories supports his theory of knowledge and how “question concerning a priori structures of knowledge” are transformed within this relational framework. A chief critical target is David Savan’s semiotics, specifically the idea that “the multiplicity of development of the categories” is “conditioned by nothing but the indefiniteness of the categories.” But in contrast with this, if there is any indefiniteness in the categories, they cannot fully direct their own application, and this is to say regarding them “that o...
Establishing the correct order of trichotomies in Peirce's projected ten-division typology of 1908 has been a preoccupation of Peirce scholars since at least 1945. Most seem to assume that the same phenomenological framework was adopted by Peirce in all his classification systems from 1903 to 1908 and that these ten divisions form a homogeneous set. The paper examines the status of typologies in Peirce's semiotics and, by comparing two hexads of divisions from 1904 and 1908, shows how the theoretical framework of each was based upon entirely different principles.

On his own admission Peirce's priority in his work in semiotics concerned the identification of all possible signs, and it is clearly for this reason that of the two typologies announced in the letter to Lady Welby of 23 December 1908—one yielding twenty-eight classes and the other sixty-six— it was the latter that he found the more interesting, to the complete neglect of the former. And yet contributing to the originality of this particular typology is the fact that after 1906 Peirce appears no longer to employ his phaneroscopic categories as the criteria for establishing the various subdivisions in his classifications, preferring instead three modally organized universes, and, in the period from 1907 on, a growing appeal to the requirement of collateral observation of the object in definitions of the sign—both these factors being associated with a greater understanding of the nature of the dynamic object, particularly in the period 1908-1909. The paper thus seeks to demonstrate the potential for semiotic analysis of Peirce's neglected 28-class classification system by showing its originality within the fifteen or more typologies he developed between 1866 and 1908. This, it is to be hoped, will compensate for Peirce's neglect by showing how an examination of the evolving typologies sheds light on the development of his conception of signs and on the shift in the theoretical framework which underwrote it.
The paper deals with the problem of Peirce’s theory of signs, placing it within the context of modern semiotics (comparing it with Saussurean semiology, in particular), and considers Peirce’s semiotics from the point of view of his theory of categories (phaneroscopy) and in the terms of his classification of signs. The article emphasizes the complicated system of Peirce’s late, “mature”, semeiotic and his theory (classification) of Interpretant.

Many scholars believe "On a New List of Categories" is a metaphysical or transcendental deduction. The present essay will argue that Peirce derives the categories by induction and validates their order by prescision. Then the article shall solicit aid from Peirce's early and later writings to explain how the new way to list the categories can serve as a genealogy of signifi cation: how the diff erent types of term, proposition, and argument emerge in the process of reasoning as the diff erent types of signs. Thus, the genealogy of signifi cation would then qualify as a phenomenology of logic as a science of semiotics. Such a science of semiotics will have three types of comparison corresponding to the sign-relation in illation: namely, uniparance, diaparance, and comparance. Then the three types of comparison will occasion three types of relative in diff erent types of propositions: namely, concurrents, disquiparants, and equiparants. Finally, the three types of relative will occasion the diff erent types of sign corresponding to the diff erent types of term: namely, icons, indices, and symbols. With this classifi cation, there is then an explanation of how the process of reasoning is a semiotic process with three forms of valid argument: namely, hypothesis, induction, and deduction.

The relationships between Peirce’s Semiotic and the Grammatica Speculativa of Thomas of Erfurt, who belongs to Modistae’s medieval school, have still been little explored. Peirce shows a continuous interest in this text, and his study must have gone much further than a simple reading of the work. Peirce may have felt close to Modistae's theory because of his inquiry into the reality of generals, and his related interest in dealing with the distinction between abstract and concrete terms, like whiteness and white. This feature, in a realist context, provides Peirce with the framework he is looking for in his account of the Hypostatical Abstraction. Moreover, I believe Thomas of Erfurt's work has retained Peirce’s attention for the indexical question of the pronoun, conceived by the Modistae as a part of speech independent of noun, unlike among contemporary grammarians, who consider the pronoun as a mere substitute for the noun. As well known, Modistae aimed to set up Grammar ...
