Philosophy as semiotics: An overview of Peirce’s semiosis

In this chapter, the author argues that philosophy can be thoroughly seen as semiotics. Following Peirce, a thought can be considered as a sign, such as: 1) a reference to something else, or a transit; 2) a continuum, that implies the absence of any division or break; 3) a relative, in a logical sense; 4) a habit of response to living problems. Peirce overcomes the representationalist and dictionary view of knowledge.
