Abstract
El propósito de este trabajo es explicar la concepción de la realidad sostenida por Charles Sanders Peirce. El trabajo comienza con una presentación de dicha concepción en tres artículos de Peirce: : "The fixation of belief" (1877) y "How to make our ideas clear" (1878) and "Questions concerning certain faculties claimed for man" (1868). Luego se examinan algunas críticas a dicha concepción. La conclusión es que esas críticas dependen de una comprensión incorrecta de esta concepción.The aim of this paper is to explain Charles Sanders Peirce' conception of reality.
