read", (Ithink) I see what the problem is - the paper is a
very concise synthesis of ideas which, if I remember correctly (and it's been a
long time since I read Peirce), are explained 'long-hand' elsewhere. Sometimes
those seemingly brief writings actually take far longer to grasp than the
longer ones...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
