Bio

Triadic Philosophy is a phrase which denotes not a complete philosophical system. It is an evolving method of thinking which aims to become universal. It accepts much of what it understands as Charles Sanders Pierce’s pragmaticism.

Including evolutionary love, continuity, fallibility and chance.

At the same time, Triadic Philosophy proposes a specific practice which is not a representation of the Peirce system.

It is a derivation meant to be communicable and of universal import.

Triadic Philosophy accepts that all thought is in signs but it simplifies the method by which signs are processed in consciousness. A sign is what comes up at the commencement of conscious thought.

Reality is the origin of all signs. It is also the name of the initial step in the conscious practice of Triadic Thinking.

Reality is the first, the initial point of reflection.

The referent of the sign in Triadic Philosophy is the Second or Index or, as Triadic Philosophy proposes, Ethics. Ethics is an index of established and we believe ontological values that provide a brake and criticism and qualification of whatever emerges from Reality. Each value in the ethics index and each word you are reading may is a sign, but to create the order needed to enable basic thought Triadic Philosophy proceeds

Reality-THE sign under consideration

Ethics-THE values Tolerance, Helpfulness, Democracy

Aesthetics-THE summoning up of an Action or Expression (or both) that accords with an effort to move the meeting of Reality and Ethics to an actuality that tends toward truth and beauty.

The claim of Triadic Philosophy is that this simplified form of consideration is the key to the attainment of the good. As the centerpiece of a daily practice which includes an act of repentance and a receiving of forgiveness it is efficacious in enabling any human being to move forward in life with a reduced possibility of doing harm and an enlarged possibility of well-being and creativity.

Peirce: CP 2.94 Cross-Ref:††

94. In consequence of every sign determining an Interpretant, which is itself a sign, we have sign overlying sign. The consequence of this, in its turn, is that a sign may, in its immediate exterior, be of one of the three classes, but may at once determine a sign of another class. But this in its turn determines a sign whose character has to be considered. This subject has to be carefully considered, and order brought into the relations of the strata of signs, if I may call them so, before what follows can be made clear.
