6. Peirce's way of arguing against Hegel here may be compared to Bradley's similar injunction of a preconceptual "feeling" as also involving the kind of direct and unanalysable immediacy that Bradley also takes Hegel to reject: see e.g. F. H. Bradley, Essays on Truth and Reality (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1914), pp. 174-6
