Greek to me

Greetings. I just wrote the page Greek to me. I am comparing similar expressions in other languages. I was wondering if you would be able to add the expression in any languages with which you are comfortable. Btw, I just found your page/profile by running a search for users who have a level 4/level 5 ability in non-English languages. Thanks much! samwaltz 04:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Your book on Peirce

Sorry I needed to remove your self-citation footnote from the CSP article but, among other things, we're under length restraints occasionally enforced by passing Wikipedians.

However, few readers pursue things in the footnotes and I can do much better for you.

Put a description of your Peirce book here and I'll copy and post it to peirce-l, which has (at last count) around 300 subscribers including many big names (Robert Lane, Nathan Houser, Peter Skagestad, etc.) in Peircean philosophy. I'd suggest that you join the list but list membership is frozen for a while because the list owner Joseph Ransdell passed away. The Tetrast (talk) 21:32, 20 April 2011 (UTC).

Thanks for the description in the section below. I've posted it. You can see it at the Lyris Peirce archive http://lyris.ttu.edu/read/messages?id=17889164#17889164 (click on reload if University graphics obscure it) and (have Javascript on) at the gmane Peirce archive: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.philosophy.peirce/7012 - The Tetrast (talk) 23:40, 20 April 2011 (UTC).

Description of my book

Here is a description of my book:'Philosophical Historical Dimensions of Peirce's Self-Corrective Thesis: Is Scientific Method Self-Corrective?'

Charles S. Peirce's Self-Corrective Thesis (SCT) is based on the idea that the progress in science lies in its self-corrective methods, since they allow us to grow our knowledge and to correct our errors by gradual modification of our hypotheses. Particularly, Peirce's notion that scientific method consisted of four self-corrective inferences (abduction, deduction, qualitative and quantitative induction) is controversial in the philosophy and history of science. Supporters hold that all the aspects of scientific inference, introduced by Peirce, contribute to its self-correction, while critics claim that the justification for the self-corrective character of scientific method is inadequate. Some critics argue that the justification for the self- corrective character of abduction is insufficient, while others maintain that from all four methods only quantitative induction is proved to be self- corrective. In this project I explore Peirce's proposed scientific methodology and discuss it in comparison with these objections, so as to defend the SCT and distinguish the context of its validity. I appeal to the historical case of the Chemical Revolution and discuss its interpretations by different methodological views so as to shed new light upon this well-known episode in the history of science, this time from Peirce's methodological point of view. Here I examine the historical data and discuss its interpretations by different methodological views (positivism, constructivism, falsificationism, Kuhn, Lakatos etc.), in order to evaluate the different aspects of the SCT (e.g. criteria of admissibility of the hypotheses, scientists’ skill, continuity of knowledge in scientific community etc.), so as to justify it.

Help at the Ancient Greek Wikipedia

Hi! How are you? I have noticed that you say in your user page that you speak Ancient Greek and I was wondering whether you could possibly help us revive the Ancient Greek Wikipedia at the Incubator. It would be great if you could lend us a helping hand. Jon Gua (talk) 14:23, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I am sorry to bother you again but I was wondering whether you could possibly sign this (https://shorturl.at/hNQVY) petition in order to get the Wikipedia in Ancient Greek approved. Thank you so much for your help. Jon Gua (talk) 07:17, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
