Resumo: | The determination of the depth and scope of the influence Schiller’s Æsthetic Letters exerted on Peirce’s philosophizing has proved a demanding interpretive task. Both the understanding of its necessity and the awareness of its difficulties have only gradually emerged in the work of generations of scholars. The aim of this paper is to sketch the present hermeneutic situation concerning the ‘Schiller-Peirce-affair’ (Section I) and to perform the subtask of interpreting a group of passages that has hitherto not received the philological attention and accuracy it deserves: Peirce’s reminiscences (1902-1913) of his juvenile study of the Letters. As these constitute our only warrant for the assumption that Schiller’s thought – besides acting as a gateway to Kant around 1855, – had any import for Peirce, the reminiscences are documented as completely as possible (Section II), in order to situate Schiller’s reemergence in Peirce’s thought in the context of the theoretical challenges Peirce is facing in view of the coenoscopic redesign of the philosophical sciences carried out between 1900 and 1903 (Section III). This architectonic contextualization of the reminiscences matches the results of our analysis of the juvenilia obtained in a twin-paper: The categoriological core of the Letters, around which Schiller builds a three-level logic of psychic processes, acted as the catalyst for Peirce’s analysis of the shortcomings of Kant’s categoriology and thus informed his conception (intension) and use (extensive application to object-realms) of the categories as purely formal – truly universal, strictly ordered, essentially modal – constituents of phenomenality, normativity and historical processuality, i.e. as the constitutive elements and architectonic dimensions of the semeiosis of an intelligence, which is capable of learning from experience. |

Tanto o entendimento de sua necessidade quanto a consciência de suas dificuldades apenas surgiram gradativamente na obra de gerações de estudiosos. O objetivo deste trabalho é delinear a situação hermeneutica atual em relação à ‘questão-Schiller-Peirce’ (Seção I) e executar a sub-tarefa de interpretar um grupo de passagens que, até agora, não receberam a atenção e o rigor filológico que merecem: as recordações de Peirce (1902-1913) de seu estudo juvenil das Cartas. Como constituem nossa única garantia da premissa de que o pensamento de Schiller – além de servir como acesso a Kant, em torno de 1855 – teve algum significado para Peirce, as recordações são documentadas o mais plenamente possível (Seção II), a fim de situar o ressurgimento de Schiller no pensamento de Peirce no contexto dos desafios teoréticos enfrentados por Peirce, em vista da reconcepção coenoscópica das ciências filosóficas que ocorreram entre 1900 e 1903 (Seção III). Esta contextualização arquitetônica das recordações corresponde aos resultados de nossa análise da juvelinia obtida em um trabalho conjunto. A essência categoriológica das Cartas, em torno da qual Schiller constrói uma lógica tripartida de processos psíquicos, agiu como um catalizador para a análise de Peirce das deficiências da categoriologia de Kant e, assim, fundamentou sua concepção (conotação) e uso (aplicação extensa ao objeto-domínios) das categorias como constituintes meramente formais – verdadeiramente universais, estritamente ordenados, essencialmente modais – de fenomenalidade, normatividade e processualidade histórica, i.e., como os elementos constitutivos e dimensões arquitetônicas da semiose de uma inteligência, capaz de aprender através da experiência.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2018-02-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/3575210.23925/2316-5278.2017v18i2p326-343Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 18 No. 2 (2017); 326-343Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 18 n. 2 (2017); 326-3432316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.

The determination of the depth and scope of the influence Schiller’s Æsthetic Letters exerted on Peirce’s philosophizing has proved a demanding interpretive task. Both the understanding of its necessity and the awareness of its difficulties have only gradually emerged in the work of generations of scholars. The aim of this paper is to sketch the present hermeneutic situation concerning the ‘Schiller-Peirce-affair’ (Section I) and to perform the subtask of interpreting a group of passages that has hitherto not received the philological attention and accuracy it deserves: Peirce’s reminiscences (1902-1913) of his juvenile study of the Letters. As these constitute our only warrant for the assumption that Schiller’s thought – besides acting as a gateway to Kant around 1855, – had any import for Peirce, the reminiscences are documented as completely as possible (Section II), in order to situate Schiller’s reemergence in Peirce’s thought in the context of the theoretical challenges Peirce is facing in view of the coenoscopic redesign of the philosophical sciences carried out between 1900 and 1903 (Section III).
