Еволюционната космология на Чарлс С. Пърс

The article presents the evolutionary cosmology of the great American philosopher Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914). For that purpose, the text features a short overview of his pragmatism and semiotics, in order to reach a comprehensive understanding of Peirce's transition from nominalism towards realism.
