Peirce's Philosophy of Communication - The Rhetorical Underpinnings of the Theory of Signs

Zusatztext ‘Bergman takes a novel approach to the study of Peirce's semeiotic by modeling it as a theory of communication, rather than as an epistemological or logical theory ... In making his case, Bergman provides a comprehensive and exciting review of the critical controversies in Peirce's semeiotic. This is a book not only for those interested in theories of communication, but also those seeking a solid overview of Peirce's theory of signs.' - James Liszka, Professor of Philosophy, University of Alaska Anchorage, USA Informationen zum Autor Mats Bergman is a Junior Research Fellow at the Academy of Finland and the Department of Communication, University of Helsinki, Finland. Vorwort Presents a new, rhetorical approach to Peirce's philosophy that is both systematic and pragmatically warranted. Zusammenfassung Charles S Peirce, the founder of pragmatism, was also the architect of a remarkable theory of signs that continues to puzzle and inspire philosophers. This book presents a rhetorical approach to Peirce's philosophy. It articulates an approach to Peirce's semeiotic through a meticulous reassessment of the role of rhetoric in his work.
