Description
The rise of the reputation of Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) has coincided with a greater appreciation for his work in semiotics. Once thought to be primarily a logician and pragmatist, he is now recognized as a pioneer theorist on how minds think with signs: icons, indexes, and symbols. Peirce's ideas about semiotics provide the kind of representational theory that Freud's system is considered to lack, proposing a thorough recasting of psychoanalytic thinking which rejoins idea and affect, self and other, thought and action, meaning and matter, inside and outside. The essays in this collection provide an introduction to Peirce and explore different implications of Peirce's theory of representation for psychoanalytic practice as well as for philosophical reflection.
