Abstract

The use of the metaphor of the under existence of the plan of an old forum in the mind of its architect in order to understand the mode of being of the initial estate of the cosmos could originate a postulation of a plan in the divine mind or in the Nature. The divine perfection and the evolutionary process of the cosmos and Reason, as they are exposed in PEIRCE's philosophy, seem to be opposed to the reality of such a plan. The present paper discusses this question.
