Henry,

Thank you for your welcome.

I ran into Percy a number of years ago when I was on the Peirce list, and I remember being impressed with the Trobriand Islanders and their pocket knives as being what philosophy, and science, should be all about.  Now reading Wittgenstein and trying to correlate him with Peirce, I thought of Percy again, and have been working through some of his articles.  To me he seems just as precise in his thinking as Peirce or Wittgenstein, but much less technical and much more down-to-earth in what he has to say about it.

The list does seem quiet, but I'm hoping it will offer some "intersubjective" support for these efforts.

Thanks again,
Tom
