The significance of this breadth is that the theory reveals in all of theses areas of human experience the same structure, one of objectivity. Within it, correction occurs and, hence, reality is distinguished from appearance. But this is not a theory that assimilates emotion to judgment or art and morality to cognition. I shall speak of art and feeling especially. Their significance depends on there being limiting cases of semeiotic: within them certain semeiotic distinctions that elsewhere obtain do not obtain. And that form of significance is essential to all other forms of significance. Peirce and James on Experience Abstract: Pragmatism is, widely speaking, a tenet according to which the meaning of intellectual conceptions is to be clarified by an investigation into their "practical effects." To find such practical effects, pragmatists - especially classical American pragmatists - have usually referred us to consult what occurs, or at least conceivably could occur, in experience. But what exactly counts as experience? Drawing from their philosophical correspondence, this paper attempts to explicate some key differences in Charles Peirce's and William James's
conceptions of experience. Particular attention will be paid to four themes: (1) the private vs. public nature of experience, (2) particularity and generality in experience, (3) James's concept of "pure experience", and (4)
