Our understanding of CS Peirce, and his semiotics, is largely
influenced by a twentieth century perspective that prioritizes the
sign as a cultural artifact, or as one that that 'distorts', in
some way, our understanding of the empirical world. Such a
perspective will always undermine appreciation of Peirce as a
philosopher who viewed signs as the very mechanisms that enable us
to understand reality through concept formation. The key to this
repositioning of Peirce is to place his work in the broad frame of
Hegelian philosophy. This book evaluates, in detail, the parallels
that exist between Peircean and Hegelian thought, highlighting
their convergences and also the points at which Peirce departs from
Hegel's position. It also considers the work of Vygotsky on concept
formation showing that both are, in fact, working within the same
Hegelian template. This book, therefore, contributes to our broader
understanding of Peircean semiotics. But by drawing in Vygotsky,
under the same theoretical auspices, it demonstrates that Peirce
has much to offer contemporary educational learning theory.
