|
| 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
