This is because propositions---in Peirce's generalization: Dicisigns---do not depend upon human language nor upon human consciousness or intentionality, contrary to most standard assumptions. In addition to a careful consideration of Peirce's work, the book includes numerous examples of Dicisigns in nature as firefly signaling and vervet monkey alarm calls.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50368786071825,"sku":"CIN0988744961G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50593100792081,"sku":"GOR011938269","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740868014353,"sku":"NIN9780988744967","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0988744961.jpg?v=1750885219"},{"product_id":"your-post-has-been-removed-book-frederik-stjernfelt-9783030259679","title":"Your Post has been Removed","description":"This open access monograph argues established democratic norms for freedom of expression should be implemented on the internet. Moderating policies of tech companies as Facebook, Twitter and Google have resulted in posts being removed on an industrial scale.

Thus, it deals with the precise character of Peirce's realism; with Peirce's special notion of propositions as signs which, at the same time, denote and describe the same object. It deals with diagrams as signs which depict more or less abstract states-of-affairs, facilitating reasoning about them; with assertions as public claims about the truth of propositions. It deals with iconicity in logic, the issue of self-control in reasoning, dependences between phenomena in their realist descriptions.    A number of chapters deal with applied semiotics: with biosemiotic sign use among pre-human organisms: the multimedia combination of pictorial and linguistic information in human semiotic genres like cartoons, posters, poetry, monuments.    All in all, the book makes a strong case for the actual relevance of Peirce's realist semiotics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51064322228497,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51064325275921,"sku":"NIN9783110793581","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430199193873,"sku":"NLS9783110793581","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/311079358X.jpg?v=1751189338"},{"product_id":"alchemist-in-chains-book-frederik-stjernfelt-9783111479729","title":"An Alchemist in Chains","description":"How could a pious, Christian mystic spread radical Enlightenment ideas and freedom of thought? Johann Konrad Dippel was a radical pietist, an alchemist, a philosopher, a medical doctor, a renegade, a firebrand. He was also one of the most-read authors of early eighteenth-century Europe.     Born at the Burg Frankenstein in the South of Germany, he was a truly cosmopolitan figure, straying between France, Berlin, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and various German states. From 1714–1719, he was in Altona near Hamburg, then the second city of Denmark-Norway. Here, a labyrinthine case was brought against him, terminating with his banishment to the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.     This book is the first to investigate in detail the Case Against Dippel in Altona, pitting him in a struggle against the strongest noble couple of Denmark-Norway, the Reventlows, presiding in Altona. It was a case involving libel, bribes, corruption, but also branching into blasphemy and gold-making.     The investigation of the Case Against Dippel is embedded in a narrative of what is known about his frantic life and defiant thought before and after his seven-years’ incarceration. The whole story throws a new light upon the challenging question of the origin of Modernity and the clandestine connections between radical pietism and radical Enlightenment.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51065133695249,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51065135366417,"sku":"NIN9783111479729","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3111479722.jpg?v=1750870269"},{"product_id":"diagrammatology-book-frederik-stjernfelt-9789400705319","title":"Diagrammatology","description":"Diagrammatology investigates the role of diagrams for thought and knowledge. Based on the general doctrine of diagrams in Charles Peirce's mature work, Diagrammatology claims diagrams to constitute a centerpiece of epistemology. The book reflects Peirce's work on the issue in Husserl's contemporanous doctrine of \"categorial intuition\" and charts the many unnoticed similarities between Peircean semiotics and early Husserlian phenomenology. Diagrams, on a Peircean account, allow for observation and experimentation with ideal structures and objects and thus furnish the access to the synthetic a priori of the regional and formal ontology of the Husserlian tradition.   The second part of the book focuses on three regional branches of semiotics: biosemiotics, picture analysis, and the theory of literature. Based on diagrammatology, these domains appear as accessible for a diagrammatological approach which leaves the traditional relativism and culturalism of semiotics behind and hence constitutes a realist semiotics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51068006007057,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51068006727953,"sku":"NIN9789400705319","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52664509726993,"sku":"NLS9789400705319","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/940070531X.jpg?v=1751159795"},{"product_id":"diagrammatology-book-frederik-stjernfelt-9781402056512","title":"Diagrammatology","description":"Based on the general doctrine of diagrams in Charles Peirce's mature work, Diagrammatology claims diagrams to constitute a centerpiece of epistemology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52149074264337,"sku":"NLS9781402056512","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781402056512.jpg?v=1757605609"},{"product_id":"your-post-has-been-removed-book-frederik-stjernfelt-9783030259709","title":"Your Post has been Removed","description":"This open access monograph argues established democratic norms for freedom of expression should be implemented on the internet. Moderating policies of tech companies as Facebook, Twitter and Google have resulted in posts being removed on an industrial scale.
