This pioneering book presents a reconstitution of Charles Sanders
Peirce 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. Originally published in Portuguese, this book
became a classic among Brazilian Peircean scholars by presenting a
conceptual matrix capable of providing a clear reference system to
ground the thematic studies into the broader Peircean system. Now
translated to English, this reviewed, amplified and updated edition
aims to make this contributions available to the international
community of Peircean scholars and to serve as a tool to understand
Peirce's work in a more systemic way by integrating concepts such
as experience, phenomenon, existence and reality, as well as
theories such as Chance, Continuity, Objective Idealism, Cosmology
and Pragmatism, in a coherent system that reveals Peirce's complex
metaphysical architecture. "As the philosophical reputation of
Charles S. Peirce continues to rise to first-tier prominence in the
history of American philosophy, Ivo Ibri's Kosmos Noetos assumes a
unique status in both a pioneering and a magisterial work of
transcontinental Peirce scholarship. This original work of this
internationally renowned scholar and editor, and Professor of
Philosophy at the Pontifical Catholic University of San Paulo,
penetrates to the heart of Peirce's architectonic system of
phenomenological, metaphysical, and semiotic categories which
heuristically characterize our world as "a universe perfused with
signs." Ibri's own synergistic commentary on the radiating
registers of Peirce's cosmogonically and pragmatistically conceived
"one intelligible theory of the universe" also instructively
contributes to the illumination of significant nodes of interface
with a range of relevant theoretical trends in the contemporary
academy; as well, it places Peirce in the company of such thinkers
as Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Kant, and Schelling who preceded
Peirce in providing a legacy of first-tier reasoning on our
intelligibly developing world. Kosmos Noetos impresses as Ibri's
pure, lucid, passionately thought-loving, philosophical
articulation of his own and as the indispensable prolegomena to all
future Peirce studies." David Dilworth, State University of New
York at Stone Brook - USA "Ivo Ibri has offered us in this
exquisite work a framing of the inner logic of Charles S. Peirce's
core metaphysical vision and its existential implications. It is a
deep and nuanced exploration of the internal dynamics of Peirce's
central metaphysical categories, developed through rigorous and
detailed attention to the evolution of Peirce's thought on the
'vitally important topics' of the appearing, the reality, and the
intelligibility of the world. The two-leveled format of the book,
an intricate weaving of Peirce's texts and discursive elaboration
and linkage by Ibri, gives it a distinctive feel and is the bedrock
of its value. The book is a remarkable combination of presentation
and analysis. It is informed by Ibri's deep philosophical culture
and is a gentle and convincing argument for the centrality of
metaphysics in understanding Peirce's thought. It offers in a new
way indispensable suggestions for our own attempts to think about
our places in an evolving universe with the aid of Peirce and
offers threads of thought to be followed up by others." Robert E.
Innis, University of Massachusetts Lowell - USA
