   Format: MarkdownItexI added the following to the [[Charles Sanders Peirce]] page: Peirce’s philosophy can be seen as Schellingism transformed in light of (in Peirce’s time) modern physics, as Peirce himself notes in an 1894 letter to William James: * _“My views were probably influenced by Schelling - by all stages of Schelling, but especially the Philosophie der Natur. I consider Schelling as enormous, and one thing I admire about him is his freedom from the trammels of system, and his holding himself uncommitted to any previous utterance. in that, he is like a scientific man. If you were to call my philosophy Schellingism transformed in the light of modern physics, I should not take it hard.”_ ---- ( My reason for doing this is b/c w/ Urs/Lawvere's updating of Hegel, Zalamea et al's updating of Novalis, Zalamea's updating of Peirce, and Petitot et al's updating of Kant [http://www.springer.com/philosophy/epistemology+and+philosophy+of+science/book/978-1-4020-9509-2](http://www.springer.com/philosophy/epistemology+and+philosophy+of+science/book/978-1-4020-9509-2) all of the major figures* from that period of German Philosophy have been brought into interaction with contemporary physics/mathematics. *except for Fichte, who can possibly be brought into interaction with contemporary mathematics via David W. Wood's work.)
