Abstract
This paper seeks to point out in George Berkeley’s ontology of natural laws theoretical elements related to Charles S. Peirce’s Semiotics and classical Pragmatism, based on the possible identity of purposes between Berkeley’s subjective idealism and Peirce’s objective idealism, both sharing the refutation of a mind-matter dualism of Cartesian origin. On the other hand, there is also a reflection on the role of experience in these authors, when perception in Berkeley, fundamental to his epistemology, would find its homologous condition in Peirce, namely, the necessary cognoscibility of every phenomenical object.
