User:The Tetrast

I'm The Tetrast from Wikipedia. I've joined here in order occasionally to add a public-domain text by C.S. Peirce (and sometimes by him and others collaborating), and, I suppose, whatever other public-domain texts strike my fancy.

I joined Wikipedia in order to attempt improvements in the articles on C.S. Peirce. At this point I've done considerable revision in its Charles Peirce article, beefed up its Charles Sanders Peirce bibliography considerably, and added the following articles (combining new content with content from old versions of the Charles Peirce article):

I am not in academe but have read and thought about C.S. Peirce to a significant extent. Some Peirceans may remember me from the e-forum peirce-l and, I hope, remember my efforts there to "get Peirce right" even though I disagree with him in certain regards. My views are at The Tetrast which, despite its blog format, doesn't consist of new posts at regular intervals but instead consists of discussions (currently eleven), mostly works in progress, which I revise sometimes and in some cases leave off revising though most of them need improvements. There's also The Tetrast2: Speculation Lounge.
Some differences (very connect-the-dots):

I really like creating tables.

I also post at peirce-l, an electronic forum for discussions relating to C. S. Peirce.

Here is peirce-l's homepage at Arisbe: The Peirce Gateway. (Note: Moderator and manager Joe Ransdell hasn't yet updated its link to the Lyris archive).
