C. S. Peirce y la abducción de Dios.

Something surprising in Charles S. Peirce scholarship throughout the years has been the scarce attention paid to the religious dimensions of Peirce's thought. The aim of this paper is to highlight that for Peirce the belief in God is not only a natural product of abduction, of the "rational instinct" or educated guess of the scientist or the lay man, but also that the abduction of God is for Peirce the "proof' of pragmatism. Not only the belief in God is able to change the conduct of the believer, but according to Peirce —in the "Neglected Argument" and in other places— the reality of God makes sense of the whole scientific enterprise.
