have studied it, it is simply the science of
what must be and ought to be true
representation, so far as representation
can be known without any gathering of
special facts beyond our ordinary daily life.
It is, in short, the Philosophy of Representation.

The analysis which I have just
used to give you some notion of Genuine
Thirdness and its two forms of degeneracy
is the merest rough blackboard sketch
of the true state of things; and I must
begin the examination of representations
by defining representation a little more
