Animal de realidades y animal lógico. Notas sobre Zubiri y Peirce

Abstract

This article is divided into two parts. The first part analyzes Spanish reception ofpragmatism according to William James’ version in authors such as Eugenio d’Ors, Miguel de Unamuno and Jose Ortega y Gasset. The second one focuses on a critical comparison between Zubiri’s and Peirce’s philosophies starting from their definition of man. In that context, some meaningful analogies come up: the use of the concept of «precisive», the reference to Basque language and its relationship with a new Logic, the anti-Cartesian attitude, the mediated characterof «percept» and the role which the «Unreal» takes in their concept of experience and knowledge.
