Peirce and Semiotic Immanence
Peirce and Semiotic Immanence
This chapter introduces Peirce’s theory of semiotics in terms of his distinction between dyadic and triadic modes of signification. The triadic concept of the sign is then constructively developed in a three-stage theory of diagrammatic signification. The interpretation of semiotics via triadic relations is contrasted as a postmodern point of view with the dyadic and dualist modern approach of Cartesianism and Saussurean semiology.
Keywords: Charles S. Peirce, Semiotics, Triadic relations, Saussure, Diagrammatic reasoning
