I found your entry quite thoughtful, a mixture of Peircean semiotic and phenomenology-- two things that because of "my puzzles" (to use the idiom you have employed-- and I use too betimes.) At present, I am studying Peirce, with special focus on the early work. For reasons that connect more to the lacunae that inevitably pop up in even the most-diligent lives, I have not gotten around to Merleau-Ponty, but your use of his work piques my interest to "check him out." My readings in phenomenology revolve in time from studying Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Heidegger, and of late I have taken up closer reading of Husserl. From blogs by people like you, I get DARN GOOD POINTERS as to where my future readings should go. SO I REALLY AM APPRECIATIVE OF THE WORK YOU DO-- INCLUDING THIS INFORMATIVE BLOG. To work on puzzles of the kind on which you seem to work -- if your life is like mine-- is more open-ended, non-zero-sum than problematics which have more finitude and patness. There would not seem to be a 40-hour-workweek-with-time-and-a-half-for-overtime for what you (and I-- I suppose) REALLY do... inquiry of this type builds the "scaffolding" upon which the Type-A folks later can come along to concoct the "zero-sum games," the "open-shut cases" of which the two of us seem avoidant in our process-- if I may be so bold as to conject affinity between "your puzzles and mine."<BR/>Very Highest Regards,<BR/>Wishes for Continued Good Work,<BR/>Vernon Lynn Stephens2 Steps Forward, 1 Backwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13334013737517533386noreply@blogger.com
