Gary-- I read a little on the Peirce list, enough to know his ideas
are important to xmca readers. Alfred Lang has been trying to teach
me the same lesson. Can you think of ways to specify the relationship
between Peirce and the Russian cultural/semiotic/historical thinkers
in the activity theory tradition? If we could get him back into the
discussion, Arne would also have a lot to say. Are there, for example,
any known clear contradictions between the ideas of Vygotsky and Peirce?
Are they well known?

I know this is a big question and you may not have the time to answer,
but your note on Ellul and Elementary Pragmatism in response to
Cathy Legg set off the thought, in case it was timely.
