| Publisher Description: This definitive text is the single best work on Peirce's semeiotic (as Peirce would have spelled it) allowing scholars to extrapolate beyond Peirce or to apply him to new areas . . . --Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy Newsletter . . . indispensable introduction to Peirce's semiotics. --Teaching Philosophy Both for students new to Peirce and for the advanced student, this is an excellent and unique reference book. It should be available in libraries at all . . . colleges and universities. --Choice The best and most balanced full account of Peirce's semiotic which contributes not only to semiotics but to philosophy. Liszka's book is the sourcebook for scholars in general. --Nathan Houser Although 19th-century philosopher and scientist Charles Sanders Peirce was a prolific writer, he never published his work on signs in any organized fashion, making it difficult to grasp the scope of his thought. In this book, Liszka presents a systematic and comprehensive acount of Peirce's theory, including the role of semiotic in the system of sciences, with a detailed analysis of its three main branches--grammar, critical logic, and universal rhetoric. |
