Experience and Immersion -https://tmfow.substack.com/p/experience-and-immersion
The Plurality of Experience

A View of Reality as a Whole - https://tmfow.substack.com/p/a-view-of-reality-as-a-whole
Would be great to hear your thoughts given your interest and knowledge of Peirce’s work
Thanks for sharing your posts! I'll definitely give them a read.
