The enigmatic thought of Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914), considered
by many to be one of the great philosophers of all time, involves
inquiry not only into virtually all branches and sources of modern
semiotics, physics, cognitive sciences, and mathematics, but also
logic, which he understood to be the only useful approach to the
riddle of reality. This book represents an attempt to outline an
analytical method based on Charles Peirce's least explored branch
of philosophy, which is his evolutionary cosmology, and his notion
that the universe is made of an 'effete mind.' The chief argument
conceives of human discourse as a giant metaphor in regard to
outside reality. The metaphors arise in our imagination as
lightning-fast schemes for acting, speaking, or thinking. To
illustrate this, each chapter will present a well-known metaphor
and explain how it is unfolded and conceptualized according to the
new method for revealing meaning. This original work will interest
students and scholars in many fields including semiotics,
linguistics and philosophy.
