    La idea peirceana de una comunidad ilimitada ha sido habitualmente analizada desde su papel en la ciencia y el ideal normativo de la verdad. Sin embargo, esta investigación sostendrá que es esencial comprender el papel de dicha comunidad a partir de las otras ciencias normativas menos exploradas, la estética y la ética, porque, según Peirce, cualquier esfuerzo por saber que no esté guiado por el ideal estético del admirable per se debe considerarse como una herramienta de poder para beneficiar a alguna élite, no propiamente como ciencia. El objetivo principal de este artículo es evidenciar que dicha comunidad peirceana no es elitista, sino abierta, y que está atraída también por los ideales del summum bonum y el admirable per se. Asimismo, se ofrece una lectura más orgánica de la filosofía peirceana en la que se consideren las posibles consecuencias de la comunidad ilimitada para la ética y la política.

    Peirce’s idea of an unlimited community has been usually analyzed from its role in science and the normative ideal of truth. However, it is essential to understand the role of the community of inquiry in light of the other normative sciences, aesthetics and ethics, since according to Peirce, any endeavor to know that is not guided by the esthetical ideal of admirable per se should not be considered as proper science, but as a power tool to benefit some elite. This article aims to analyze Peirce’s idea of community of inquiry in light of sentimentalism and the normative sciences in order to evidence that such community is not elitist, but open, insofar as it is also lured by the summum bonum and the admirable per se. Finally, we provide a more organic reading of Peirce’s work, opening the way to consider possible consequences of this position from an ethical and political perspective.
