    "Conclusion.

    Peirce explores two different hypotheses with respect to classifying the phaneron’s constituents. The first is that they may be classified according to the three basic predicate forms of firstness, secondness, and thirdness. This is the formal classification and the one to which Peirce devotes the most energy. The second is that the phaneron’s constituents may be classified on a continuum between positiveness and negativeness.

    There are only hints throughout Peirce’s manuscripts as to how such a classification is to work. Nonetheless, Peirce evidently holds that the formal and material categories can be combined to construct a sort of “phanerochemical” table of constituents.

    Much as the chemical elements are classified by their periodicity and atomic weight, a phanerochemical table of constituents would have (I) as its columns (A) firstness, secondness, and thirdness, including these in (B) their logical ingredient relations (the firstness of secondness, the secondness of thirdness, etc.) and (C) their degenerate and genuine forms and (II) as its rows degrees of intensity between positiveness and negativeness.

    Yet it must be admitted that Peirce’s project remains largely unfinished and its prospects remain uncertain." (p. 74)

    Abstract: "Charles Peirce’s theory of signs greatly depends on his doctrine of categories, since this doctrine informs or inspires virtually all of his classifications of signs (e.g., that of iconical, indexical, and symbolic signs). Thus, an adequate understanding of Peirce’s semiotic or (as he most often spelled it) semeiotic is impossible apart from at least a working knowledge of the Peircean categories. This essay offers a primer of Peirce’s categories of firstness, secondness, and thirdness. Here the author succinctly explains the articulation, definition, number, names, functions, applications, origin, status, derivation, and justification of these categories. Such explanations throw much light on the theoretical structure exhibited by, and the intricate classifications encountered in, Peirce’s minutely detailed theory of signs."

    Abstract: "This paper explores ways in which semiotic concepts of Charles Sanders Peirce illuminate the meaning-potential of English comparative adjectives. Having classified all phenomena into categories of Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness, Peirce describes the three degrees of adjectives in terms of these categories: “Firstness is the mode of being of that which is such as it is, positively and without reference to anything else” (Hardwick, 1977: 24). The uncompared positive degree of an adjective such as red or hard, then, is Peirce’s example of Firstness. We return to this idea later."

    From the Foreword: "To trace the development of Peirce's phenomenology from a doctrine of Categories to the ground on which philosophy and science rest is the purpose of this book. Although parallels with Husserl's thought are inevitable, it has seemed proper to this writer to emphasize the growth of Peirce's own ideas and the scientific-philosophical background out of which they emerged. Thus Peirce's most original contributions, viz., a set of universal categories appearing in thought, nature and experience, the method of their discovery, and Phaneroscopy, the science that describes the phaneron, or the collective total of all that is in any way or in any sense present to the mind, are shown in the context of a single, evolving body of thought - a comprehensive philosophy shaped by Peirce's lifelong interest in logic, the sciences, ethics, aesthetics and metaphysics."

    Abstract: "The article is devoted to the hypothesis explaining the order of signs’ classes presented in the manuscripts and articles of Ch.S. Pierce via the diagram of relations of Aristotle’s categories which was described in the first translation of Aristotle into Latin conducted after Boethius by Julius Pacius. The hypothesis allows explaining not only the order of categories in the Ch.S. Pierces diagram but also interpreting them via ten categories of Aristotle on the background of scholastic tradition of depicting relations. The conclusion is drawn that the theory of Ch.S. Pierce seems to be the development of Aristotle’s doctrine of categories. The article can contribute to the history of philosophy."
