Tendency to guess right (but not necessarily on the first guess). Pure logic supports the general assertion that a cautious presumption may be credited if no contrary evidence is available. The discussion of such presumptions is relegated to methodeutic. Criticism of Kant’s criticism of Aristotle (Kant’s “<ber die falsche Spitzfindigkeit der vier syllogistische Figuren”). Criticism of Sigwart’s views that existence is the only form of reality, that any inference from thought to real objects is invalid, and that we know immediately our own thought. Unity of thought as consisting in the continuity of the life of a growing idea. An introduction to CSP’s theory of signs which doesn’t get beyond the elementary distinctions of the theory. Iconic, indexical, and symbolic signs.
