Resumo O artigo apresenta, um a um, os cinco manuscritos que compõem o que se pode chamar da Aritmética Elementar de Charles Sanders Peirce, quais sejam, aqueles chamados: Aritmética Elementar de Lydia Peirce, Aritmética Elementar (com sugestões para professores), Aritmética Elementar de Peirce (Sobre o Método Psicológico), Aritmética Elementar de C. S. Peirce e suas principais características, e Aritmética Prática. Traz, também, algumas considerações acerca da primeira tradução desses textos para a língua portuguesa e de alguns aspectos da trajetória dos escritos de Peirce, publicados ou não, até que projetos específicos de sistematização e publicação fossem criados. Assim, este texto trata de arrematar uma hermenêutica inicial já iniciada em outros textos dos mesmos autores.
his paper presents the initial studies on Peirce´s Primary Arithmetic, a set of manuscripts, never published by the author, written at the end of the XIX century. The originals – organized and published by Carolyn Eisele in 1976 – was translated to Portuguese and some initial studies are being developed focusing on the possibility that some features of Peirce´s Philosophy could be pragmatically – but implicitly – present in such manuscripts. Our partial conclusions, now, show that Peirce´s life circumstances, more than his Philosophy, characterize the texts under examination.
Keywords: Charles S. Peirce; Primary Arithmetic; Mathematics Education; History; Philosophy; Peirce´s Mathematical Writings.
