Peirce’s weather vane: a critical interpretation of E.G.
“Kant describes magnitude in terms of the process of moving from a unity or a ‘representation of a part’ through plurality over a period of time, to the achievement of totality or a whole at the end of the period of time. He gives the example of the construction of geometrical line, which proceeds over time from a point, to a plurality of points, to a line (CPR A 162 / B 203).”

Toward Monism
I present the Table of Universals, below, to suggest that until Peirce’s view of reality is accepted, history will continue to be “a nightmare from which [we are] trying to awake.”

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
W.E.H.
