dc.description.abstractEn este artículo presento a Charles S. Peirce como un autor inmerso en los debates científicos de su época, cuya mirada integradora lo convierte en precursor de las actuales investigaciones sobre el comportamiento de sistemas auto-organizantes lejos del equilibrio y de una “síntesis evolutiva expandida” que no solo toma elementos de diversas ramas de la biología sino de la física. Esta capacidad de síntesis no debe sorprendernos si se examina la influencia del pensamiento evolutivo de Lamarck y Darwin, que junto con la mecánica estadística de Boltzmann y Maxwell ejercieron sobre la metafísica evolucionista Peirce. En este sentido presento la noción de “hábito” lamarckiano, como el factor mediador entre las perturbaciones provocadas por las circunstancias externas y las variaciones morfológicas heredables de los organismos, la cual por generalización contribuyó a la formulación de la categoría de la terceridad, mientras que la triada darwiniana variación, herencia y selección fue entendida como una especificación de las categorías de primeridad, segundidad y terceridad. Por otra parte, Boltzmann influyó en la acep-tación del azar ontológico (primeridad) y la idea de una flecha del tiempo irreversible y continuo, asociada a la terceridad. Discuto cómo, en oposición a la recurrencia cíclica en un universo ergódico propuesta por Poincaré, Peirce propuso ad hoc la “ley de la mente” para salvar la flecha del tiempo irreversible y creativo. En el contexto de la ciencia del siglo XIX, era correcto postular la “ley de la mente” para salvar la idea de evolución como argumento irrefutable y convincente en contra de la hegemónica visión mecánica de la naturaleza que no podía explicar a) la determinación de las condiciones iniciales, b) la emergencia de comportamientos orientados a metas específicas, y c) las bifurcaciones evolutivas generadas en elecciones impredecibles. La influencia de Maxwell en Peirce, se percibe en las explicaciones sobre los efectos anti-entrópicos ordenadores, las contingencias temporales, las bifurcaciones en momentos críticos y la argumentación contra la ergodicidad del universo. Para finalizar, presento una reflexión sobre la vigencia de las ideas peirceanas sobre la “evolución agapástica”, donde la “elección individual”, el hábito, la inteligencia promueven la cooperación, la reciprocidad, la asociación simbió-tica y mutualista, contribuyendo así al incremento del potencial creativo de la naturaleza.spa
dc.description.abstractenglishIn this contribution I present Charles S. Peirce as an author deeply immersed in the scientific debates of his time, with a synthetic mind that makes him a forerunner todays’ far from equilibrium self-organization and an advocate of an “expanded evolutionary synthesis” that takes into account elements from diverse branches of biology and also from physics. That should not be a surprise as it is examined the influences that Lamarc-kian and Darwinian evolutionary theories, and Boltzmann and Maxwell ́s mechanical statistical theories, exerted on Peirce’s evolutionary metaphysics. Along these lines I show how the Lamarckian notion of habit, understood as the mediatory factor between organisms’ perturbations provoked by external circumstances and heritable morpholo-gical variations, through its generalization contributed to the formulation of thirdness category, while the Darwinian triad variation, heredity and selection, was understood as an specification of Peircean categories firstness, secondness, and thirdness. Furthermore I show Boltzmann ́s influence on the acceptance of ontological chance that Peirce included into the category of firstness and the ensuing idea of an arrow of irreversible and conti-nuous time, associated with thirdness. I discuss one of the reasons that moved Peirce to propose ad hoc the “law of mind” in order to save the creative and irreversible time arrow that was questioned by Poincare’s cyclic recurrence in an ergodic universe. Thus, in the context of XIXth century science, it was correct to postulate the “law of mind” in order to save the idea of evolution as a convincing and irrefutable argument against mechanistic hegemonic interpretations of nature that could not account for: a) the determination of initial conditions, b) the emergence of behaviors oriented to specific goals, and c) evolutionary bifurcations generated out of unpredictable choices. Maxwell ́s influence on Peirce is notorious in his accounts of ordering anti-entropic effects, temporal contin-gencies, bifurcations at unstable critical points and arguments against the ergodicity of the universe. To conclude I present a consideration over Peirce’s “agapastic” evolution, where “individual elections”, habit and intelligence promote cooperation, reciprocity, mutualistic and symbiotic associations that thus contribute to the increment of the crea-tive potential of nature.eng
