Abstract

W.N.: Good afternoon, we are here to speak about a very difficult topic: how to change habits. Peter Sloderdijk launched a book, translated into English as “You must change your life”. We were more respectful and put it in the form of a question: How do we change habits? But the presupposition of this question is the same, you cannot ask how you change a habit if you are not convinced that you must change habits, and life is habits, is it not? Well, of course, the background of our dialogue is Peirce’s conception of life and habits, but perhaps not only. We are here to meet and to speak in a series of online reflections. This is the third. A week from now we have a fourth. Without further ado, Professor Vincent Colapietro, whom you must know by now, is ready to speak about this topic, and we thank him very much for being with us once more.
