Dear Soeren,
Thanks for the message. I cannot give you any statement to these word of
Pierce at the moment. I promise that I will think about and give you my
comments in a next occasion.

thing from the outside, considering its relation of action and reaction with
other things, it appears as matter. Viewing it from the inside, looking at
its immediate character as feeling, it appears as consciousness. These two
views are combined when we remember that mechanical laws are nothing but
acquired habits, like all the regularities of mind, including the tendency
to take habits, itself; and that this action of habit is nothing but
generalization, and generalization is nothing but spreading of feelings."
(Peirce 1931-58, CP 6.268).
