RESUMO

This text contains, as indicated in the tide, an interpretation of the birth of the main themes of Charles Sanders Peirce s philosophy. lts goal is to show,how in the end of the 1860 s from initial concerns about kancian philosophy, viz. the theory of categories, Peirce comes to sketch- though in an well articulated way, - some conceptions of the utmost importance to his philosophical project. Thus, we try to explain that his first step will be to set a new list of categories up, intending to explain the reduccion of empirical manifold to conceptual unity. We also try to explain the elaboration of this new list by pointing out the young Peirce s new conception of logic, which is different from the tradicional aristotelian one. Further, and thereafter, from this new list he formulates a theory of cognition stating that every thought is a process of creation and interpretation of signs, whereof the very functioning can be described as an inferential, not anymore as a judgement process. He also settles a theory of the reality of universals, as a necessary outcome of the fundamental assumption of the identity of the conceptions of beeing and cognizability. These ideas led him still to present, incipiently, a theory of the justification of the validity of induction, based upon a description of the possibility condicions of experience, a theory which suggests central themes of his fallibilism and sinequism. These igeas frame the basis of his Pragmatism, as we see it, understood as a philosophica method of clearing up scientific concepts to be applied to tradicional Metaphysics, with the purpose of renewing it, setting aside false problems, focusing on signification problems. The present work ends with a succinct mention to his Pragmatism, developed after these early works, wherein we can see that the originality of his ideas at this beginning of his philosophical development was, at least to settle the ground for a new way of thinking the entanglement between the logical- conceptual- and ontological determinations o fthe world- i. e.?-a new way of thinking the relations established between [Physis] and [lógos]
