Resumo: In this and a following twin-article we aim at articulating Peirce’s comprehensive architectonic view of the phenomenon of rhetoric by putting its account in “Ideas, Stray or Stolen, about Scientific Writing” (MS 774, 1904) in perspective with its treatment in the much neglected classification of the practical sciences (MS 1343, 1903). In the present article, we first reconstruct the main conceptual axis of “Ideas, Stray or Stolen”, which is erected by the terms ‘universal art of rhetoric’, ‘ordinary rhetoric’ and ‘speculative rhetoric’. As this axis guides us towards the classification of special rhetorical studies Peirce proposes in the final section of “Ideas, Stray or Stolen”, the careful reconstruction of this axis constitutes a hermeneutic duty, the neglect of which would hinder a proper understanding of what Peirce is classifying at the end of his most mature account of Speculative Rhetoric (Section I). Next, we proceed to expose the Aristotelian roots of Peirce’s conception of the universal art of rhetoric (Section II) and analyze the intrinsic relation rhetorical semeiosis has to the summum bonum as one of its historically evolving semeiotic forms (Section III). If this interpretation of Peirce’s conception of rhetoric is adequate, however, we should expect him to somewhere give us an account of the capacity of rhetoric to evolve––and thus grow––in the first place. It will be the task of the following second paper to show that and how Peirce’s conception of rhetoric as a practical science (τέχνη) and instinctive faculty (δύναμις) rooted in the “graphic instinct” (MS 1343) accounts for its capacity for growth.

Neste artigo, primeiro, reconstruímos o principal eixo conceitual de Ideas, Stray or Stolen, que é erguido pelos termos ‘arte universal da retórica’, ‘retórica ordinária’, e ‘retórica especulativa’. Na medida em que este eixo nos guia para a classificação dos estudos especiais da retórica que Peirce propõe na seção final de Ideas, Stray or Stolen, a cuidadosa reconstrução deste eixo constitui um dever hermenêutico, a negligência do qual impediria uma compreensão adequada do que Peirce está classificando no fim de sua abordagem mais madura da Retórica Especulativa (Seção I). Em seguida, procedemos à exposição das raízes aristotélicas da concepção de Peirce da arte universal da retórica (Seção II) e analisamos a relação intrínseca que a semiose retórica tem com o summum bonum como uma de suas formas evolutivas históricas (Seção III). Se esta interpretação da concepção de retórica do Peirce é adequado, no entanto, devemos esperar que ele nos dê em algum lugar uma descrição da capacidade de evolução da retórica – e portanto, de crescer – antes de tudo. Será a tarefa de um segundo artigo subsequente mostrar que e de que maneira a concepção de Peirce da a retórica como ciência prática (τέχνη) e faculdade instintiva (δύναμις) enraizado no “instinto gráfico” (MS 1343) responde pela sua capacidade para o crescimento.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2020-02-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/4663510.23925/2316-5278.2019v20i2p404-428Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 20 No. 2 (2019); 404-428Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 20 n. 2 (2019); 404-4282316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.
