Resumo: | Charles Peirce regularly stated and complained that his thinking processes were not like those of other people. Peirce accounted for his mental difficulty with the notion that he was left-handed. Neurologists consulted in this study note that one in seven people is left-handed, and that the thought processes of left-handed people are not noticeably different from right-handed people. Joseph Brent in his biography of Charles Peirce accounts for Peirce’s mental anomalies with the claim that Peirce suffered from a manic-depressive disorder or what today is called bipolar disorder. This article challenges that conclusion. The argument is that Peirce suffered from Asperger’s Syndrome. The hypothesis that Peirce had Asperger’s Syndrome results in a slightly different view of Peirce’s biography, possibly making him more understandable and possibly a bit more acceptable as aperson. |

Peirce atribuía sua dificuldade mental ao fato de ele ser canhoto. Neurologistas consultados neste estudo notam que, uma em cada sete pessoas são canhotas, e que os processos mentais de canhotos não são visivelmente diferentes de destros. Joseph Brent, em sua biografia de Charles Peirce, atribui as anomalias mentais de Peirce à alegação de que ele sofria de um transtorno maníaco-depressivo ou o que hoje é chamado de transtorno bipolar. Este artigo questiona tal conclusão. O argumento é de que Peirce sofria de Síndrome de Asperger. A hipótese de que Peirce sofria de Síndrome de Asperger resulta em uma visão um pouco diferente da biografia de Peirce, possivelmente tornando-o mais compreensível e, possivelmente, um pouco mais aceitável como pessoa.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2014-03-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/18373Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 14 No. 2 (2013); 203-220Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 14 n. 2 (2013); 203-2202316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.

Charles Peirce regularly stated and complained that his thinking processes were not like those of other people. Peirce accounted for his mental difficulty with the notion that he was left-handed. Neurologists consulted in this study note that one in seven people is left-handed, and that the thought processes of left-handed people are not noticeably different from right-handed people. Joseph Brent in his biography of Charles Peirce accounts for Peirce’s mental anomalies with the claim that Peirce suffered from a manic-depressive disorder or what today is called bipolar disorder. This article challenges that conclusion. The argument is that Peirce suffered from Asperger’s Syndrome. The hypothesis that Peirce had Asperger’s Syndrome results in a slightly different view of Peirce’s biography, possibly making him more understandable and possibly a bit more acceptable as aperson. |
