| Teleological Logic (concl.)
|
| Representations
|
| are of three kinds according to their truth or
| coincidence with their objects.  These are
|
|    1  'Signs'.    Representations by virtue of a convention.
|    2  'Symbols'.  Representations by virtue of original or acquired nature.
|    3  'Copies'.   Representations by virtue of a sameness of predicates.
|
| By a symbol is meant such a representation as is regarded
| as a representation in another system of representation.
| A word for instance upon being presented to the mind,
| immediately calls up a conception of the object
| without resembling it and without any reference
| to the convention, which has however existed.
| Concepts are a species of symbols.
|
| A symbol is created by a 'logos', equivalent
| to another symbol in the system in which it is
| regarded as a symbol, and stands for an object.
|
| A 'Logos' is an embodied form.
|
| An 'object' is an informed thing.
|
| The science of the general conditions
| in which every symbol is subjected in
| so far as it is related
|
|       ( a logos is 'General Grammar'
|    to < a language is 'General Rhetoric'
|       ( an Object is 'General Logic'.
|
| Hence we have
