El lugar de la imaginación en la semiótica de Peirce

Abstract

This work aims to re-evaluate the importance of the human imagina-tion in the semiotic of C. S. Peirce. Based on a selection of texts from the Collected Papers (from 1878 to 1903), it attempts to describe the formal relationship between imagination and the controversial notion of se-miotic ground. This account of the imagination as a prerequisite for the creation of new beliefs and habits also draws from the Aristotelian no-tion of "ascending mimesis" and the Peircean normative science of esthetics.
