This was a fun video to make. I really enjoyed his book referenced in the video. Please like and subscribe, and if you enjoyed the video, please share.
Great breakdown, sounds Kantian, Firstness = Thing in itself Secondness = Thing Observed Thirdness = Judgement Please make more videos related to this topic/discussion around immanence and transcendence
Peirce was definitely a fan of Kant, but the video couldn't get too far in depth due to length. One of the more interesting aspects is that Firstness is monadic, Secondness is dyadic & Thirdness is triadic.
Peirce was much more into science, math, and philosophy than religion. I'm not entirely sure of his religious commitments. Ben would know more on this topic.@@africandawahrevival
@@africandawahrevival There is a debate among Peirce scholars about this issue, with evidence on both sides. I think he had vaguely theistic beliefs and definitely seemed to lean toward God being somewhat personal as necessary for the development from Firstness toward Thirdness (though I think that was a mistake, as his philosophy works without God guiding it). His thoughts on philosophy of religion are scattered and rather abstract, with "A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God" being his most sustained treatment of the topic. His conclusion is, again, vague, with God's reality being something like a firm conclusion the mind is always drawn to when contemplating the universe, which is far away from attempting to give hard proofs of God.
None of the three. God is being itself. The only being whose essence is His existence. He is pure spirit in nature and timeless in existence. He then revealed His triune nature as three persons that share the divine nature.
Thank you for spending time with my work. This is an excellent summary for such a short video.
You're welcome. It was fun to make. I enjoyed your book.

@@TenOnReligion interesting, was pierce himself a theist, like William James the other popular pragmatist?
