Hints toward Cosmology: The Need for Cosmology in Peirce’s Philosophy = Sugerencias en torno a la cosmologia: la necesidad de la cosmologia en la filosofia de Peirce

The aim of the present paper is to show the need for cosmology in Peirce’s thought. To reach this goal, I first clarify Peirce’s definition of cosmology and its place in the classification of the sciences. Then, I shed slight on the entailment of cosmology in Peirce’s understanding of metaphysics and of logic, and I elucidate these connections in view of Synechism. Finally, in the light of the results achieved through the analysis, I provide a summarily description of Peirce’s cosmology, far from the common interpretation of it.
