Hi Tom and welcome to the Percy-L,* Percy-L Discussion Archives: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/percy-l/
We do wake up occasionally, if given enough motivation, but I suppose many of us aren’t as young as we once were!
SAMLA (The South Atlantic Modern Language Association) will have a session on Percy and language. Maybe you could present something connecting Percy, Peirce, and Wittgenstein? I’m pretty sure proposals are still being accepted. There will be some Percy-Peirce folks in attendance.
Percy’s philosophy continues to gain traction. I, for one, would be very interested in hearing more of your thoughts on Percy-Peirce-Wittgenstein.

It certainly is a quiet list, but thank you for your welcome. I also enjoyed your quote:
“Once the final break is made between reality and language Arguments generatetheir own Force and lay out their own logical Rules.”
from a text I'm not familiar with, yet. Personally, though, I think Percy is being too nice.When denotation is taken as some kind of primary connotation, taking the place of theobject itself, and to which other connotations can then be attached, we don't have"arguments" or "rules" but just what I've seen called "cascading connotations." A flowof images in what Hegel called "picture-thinking."
This is, however, where I find Percy most interesting.
Thanks,Tom

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
