Telos and Object

The relation between sign and object as a teleological relation in the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce

af Luca Russo

The book is devoted to the study of the sign-object relation in the semiotics of Charles Peirce. It puts this issue in the context of Peirce's philosophy of knowledge and of reality and individuates the final causality as the foundation of the semiotic relation, which gains its gnoseological reliableness from its underlying teleological tendencies.
