Form and non-linear continuity:The development of the idea of clusterin Peirce’s thought

Abstract

The question of form in Peirce’s early thought constitutes the starting point of his reflection on the connection models of the parts of continua. I will show how, interpreted as reason rather than as cause, form becomes a productive event. In this productive event the form, as “condition of possibility of the relation of the elementary parts of representation” becomes a modeling dynamic which, starting from interpretation, allows initiation of the process of the passage from substance to being. The problem of this passage is the problem of a continuity that cannot be thought by the classical linear model of time.
