abstract = "{The article presents an analysis regarding the role of purposefulness in Charles Sanders Peirce's account of thought through comparing it with Immanuel Kant's regulative principles. It examines Peirce's architectonic, cosmology, and theory of natural classes in relation to the concept of purposefulness. It undertakes Peirce's esthetic ideal and regulative hopes and Kant's regulative ideas and principle of purposiveness. It states that purposefulness and purposiveness turn out to basic regulative principles of thought.}",
