“A vast number of our moral perceptions also are certainly of this secondary and brain-born kind" — always so fascinating to read James and Peirce on 'second-ness,' and the contrast with shamanic first-ness in this essay is also striking.

Yes! Was thinking of Peirce, too, especially as discussed by Eduardo Kohn. The intersemiotic vitality of signs across firstness, secondness, and thirdness seems like the animist world, the "multinatural" realm of Eduardo Vivieros de Castro.
