Chave do pragmatismo peirciano nas ciências normativas

Abstract

The aim of this article is to discuss Peirce's second pragmatism, which he called pragmaticism, within the framework of his normative sciences, i.e., aesthetics, ethics, and logic or semiotics. The scope of these sciences is the study of the aims and ideals that guide human feeling, behavior, and thought. The normative sciences function as a key to the understanding of the ultimate ideal of pragmaticism, i.e., the growth of concrete reasonableness in the world.
