Abstract

According to Charles S. Peirce we have to take responsibility for our scientific concepts. Having introduced the scientific world to a concept we have to revise it whenever further investigation alters the meaning of the concept. This article revises the definition of the fundamental sign, a concept developed by me and thus my responsibility. I define it in relation to Peirce’s formal conditions for communication and community. These formal conditions make it possible to understand the fundamental sign as part of a discourse community, carrying the qualities of the community — the sense of community.
