3.2.10.  The Pragmatic Cosmos

This Section describes an arrangement for organizing the
normative sciences, namely, aesthetics, ethics, and logic,
that I call the "pragmatically ordered normative sciences".
It presents a scheme of dependence, precedence, and oversight
orderings that I will also refer to as the "pragmatic cosmos".

This is the organization of the normative sciences that best
accords with the pragmatic approach to inquiry, incidentally
framing and introducing the order of the normative sciences
that I intend to use throughout the remainder of this work.

>From this point on, whenever I speak of "the cosmology" or "the order" of
the normative sciences without further qualification, it will always be
some version of the pragmatic cosmos that I mean, all the while taking
into consideration the circumstance that the theme still leaves a lot
of room for variation in the carrying out of its live interpretation.
