#Russell had no #PragmaticSemiotics so his perspective on signs and #SignRelations was mired in #Syntacticism, a species of #Nominalism. From #Peirce's POV we are able to ask, and we have to ask, what could it possibly mean for a sign to refer to itself? Indeed, do signs refer to themselves at all, or is it only that #Interpreters refer signs to their objects? The whole problem looks very different once we take that point of view.

I'm very curious about nominalism and #mathematics together, but the Wikipedia info on nominalist mathematics is sparse. I'm wondering how nominalist thought gels with something like category theory.
I really should put some effort into learning #categorytheory.
