The major principles and systems of C. S. Peirce's ground-breaking
theory of signs and signification are now generally well known.
Less well known, however, is the fact that Peirce initially
conceived these systems within a 'Philosophy of Representation',
his latter-day version of the traditional grammar, logic and
rhetoric trivium. In this book, Tony Jappy traces the evolution of
Peirce's Philosophy of Representation project and examines the sign
systems which came to supersede it. Surveying the stages in
Peirce's break with this Philosophy of Representation from its
beginnings in the mid-1860s to his final statements on signs
between 1908 and 1911, this book draws out the essential
theoretical differences between the earlier and later sign systems.
Although the 1903 ten-class system has been extensively researched
by scholars, this book is the first to exploit the untapped
potential of the later six-element systems. Showing how these
systems differ from the 1903 version, Peirce's Twenty-Eight Classes
of Signs and the Philosophy of Representation offers an innovative
and valuable reinterpretation of Peirce's thinking on signs and
representation. Exploring the potential of the later sign-systems
that Peirce scholars have hitherto been reluctant to engage with
and extending Peirce's semiotic theory beyond the much canvassed
systems of his Philosophy of Representation, this book will be
essential reading for everyone working in the field of semiotics.
