Abstract

In this paper I shall offer a connected set of notions by which Peirce's vague notion of logical intention may be freed from its context of willfulness by connecting it instead with the representation-talk of our time. I shall do this by viewing logical categories and the expressions ("particles") they stand for, as representamens of most general and fundamental logical intentions. I shall name these fundamental logical intentions representational functions.
