[FRIAM] Re Rant

[Nick Thompson]

Frank has been unfairly accused.  His was an Anti-Rant Quip.  

 

The material Roger cites doesn’t obviously relate  (for me) to Frank’s and my standing argument about the efficacy of inner life.  But its themes, continuity and anti-determinism, are Peirceian themes.  And my respect for Roger is such that I know that he don’t never say somethin’ for nothin’.  So, can somebody explicate?  Perhaps even Roger?

Rant??  

 

I am a proponent, in human affairs, of both/and rather than either/or propositions.  In math I use the law of the excluded middle, however.

It's funny that this should show up twice on my desktop the same day as Frank's rant.
