O signo e a experiência : a lógica semiótica de Charles Sanders Peirce

Abstract

Based on the peircean epistemological model, this research work analyzes the way the experience issues are related to the formal constructions that in the last analysis end up in theoretical systematizations, which produce systems of meaning. The systematization of theories is a characteristic of the conceptual constructs built from models of signification. We present the philosophical architecture of Charles Peirce as a substrate to think and describe this process of concatenation between theory and practice, a model built as a philosophical system of explanation of reality. We emphasize the presentation of a particular taxonomy of universal phenomena categories (cenopitagoric categories), which support an explanation of reality reading, where experience and the knowledge are synonymous terms. In this sense, the problematic presented here refers to the following question: If knowledge and experience are one and the same phenomenon, considering that experience is of the particular order and knowledge of the universal order, one would not be establishing a certain type of nominalism? The analysis course and justification that follows delineates the peircean’s perspective on the non-acceptance of the unknowability of things of/in the world, a posture that appears throughout the exposition of the topic exposed in this thesis about this philosophical system, opening for an original path that privileges another type of logic (semiotics) and a peculiar methodeutic (scientific method of establishing beliefs).
