The essays in this collection highlight Professor Ivo Assad Ibri's significant contributions to the understanding of Charles Sanders Peirce's work. Ibri argues that the disparate elements of Peirce's philosophy coalesce into a coherent system, which he refers to as a metaphysical architecture. Through these studies, readers gain insight into the interconnectedness of Peirce's ideas and the depth of his philosophical contributions.
This pioneering book presents a reconstitution of Charles Sanders Peirce's philosophical system as a coherent architecture of concepts that form a unified theory of reality. Historically, the majority of Peircean scholars adopted a thematic approach to study isolated topics such as semiotics and pragmatism without taking into account the author's broader philosophical framework, which led to a poor and fragmented understanding of Peirce's work. In this volume, professor Ivo Assad Ibri, past president of The Charles Sanders Peirce Society and a leading figure in the Brazilian community of Peircean scholars, adopts a systemic approach to Peirce's thought and presents Peirce's scientific metaphysics as a deep ontological architecture based on a semiotic logic and on pragmatism as criteria of meaning
