| Lowell Lecture 9 (cont.)
|
| Scientifically speaking,
|
|    a likeness is a representation grounded on
|    an internal character -- that is whose
|    reference to a ground is precindible.
|
|    An index is a representation whose relation to
|    its object is prescindible and is a Disquiparance,
|    so that its peculiar Quality is not prescindible
|    but is relative.
|
|    A symbol is a representation whose essential Quality and Relation are
|    both unprescindible -- the Quality being Imputed and the Relation ideal.
|
| Thus there are three kinds of Quality
|
|    Internal Quality (Quality proper) --
|       the Quality of an Equiparant and Likeness
|
|    External Quality --
|       the Quality of a Disquiparant and Index
|
|    Imputed Quality --
|       the Quality of a Symbol
|
| and two kinds of Relation
|
|    Real Relation (Relation proper) --
|       the Relation of Likeness and Index
|
|    Ideal Relation --
|       the Relation of a Symbol
|
| Or we may write the scheme thus
|
|            ( 'proper' or Internal
|    Quality < External
|            ( Imputed
|
|                                ( Equiparance
|             ( 'Proper' or Real <
|    Relation <                  ( Disquiparance
|             ( Ideal
|
|                         ( Likeness
|    Representation ..... < Indication
|                         ( Symbolization
