With The Sense of Grammar, Peircean studies take a giant step forward, moving from a preoccupation with textual exegesis into the battleground of linguistic analysis. Working along the lines suggested by Peirce's theory of signs, as interpreted within the context of the philosopher's entire oeuvre, Michael Shapiro proposes a major reorientation of linguistic theory and a shift in the ultimate goals of the study of language structure. Part One provides a theoretical dissection of Peirce's semeiotic and evaluates its importance to structural linguistics. In it Shapiro grapples with the main differences between the theory of signs as Peirce held it before and after 1906. He then applies Peirce's semeiotic to the development of a new theory of grammar, which he tests in Part Two. Drawing examples primarily from the Russian language, Shapiro demonstrates how Peircean semeiotics engages the actual problems of linguistic structure subtended by real data and resolves them in the areas of phonology, morphophonemics, and morphology and semantics.

Founder of American pragmatism, Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is considered the logician of this movement. He was however, just as much as William James, a great psychologist, working on the development of nascent experimental psychology, trying above all to think about the possible links between logic, psychology and metaphysics, by the elaboration of a "logical analysis of products of thought ”, inspired by Kantianism and medieval times (Ockam and Duns Scotus). A determined anti-psychologist and yet favourable to the taking into account of certain facts of psychology, anxious to extend formal logic to its philosophical (or semiotic) dimension, Peirce wanted to build a new model of the mind, which would extend to d 'other forms of intelligence than human thought, by a formal use of signs which nevertheless remains attentive to their irreducible wave. By presenting the main axes of this project - criticism of intuition and internalism, wave of sensation, theory of thought-sign, semiotics of the wave, reflections on logical machines, intentionality and mental images, normative conceptions of rationality and beliefs - these studies aim to reveal the originality and fruitfulness of Peircian ideas in philosophy of mind, and to show the coherence of this philosophical project close in many respects to the third path indicated by Kant in his deduction from categories, that of a “system of preformation of pure reason”.

This book is an attempt to understand a significant part of the complex thought of Charles Sanders Peirce, especially in those areas which interested him most: scientific method and related philosophical questions. It is organized primarily from Peirce's own writings, taking chronological settings into account where appropriate, and pointing out the close connections of several major themes in Peirce's work which show the rich diversity of his thought and its systematic unity. Following an introductory sketch of Peirce the thinking and writer is a study of the spirit and phases of scientific inquiry, and a consideration of its relevance to certain outstanding philosophical views which Peirce held. This double approach is necessary because his views on scientific method are interlaces with a profound and elaborate philosophy of the cosmos. Peirce's thought is unusually close-knit, and his difficulty as a writer lies in his inability to achieve a partial focus without bringing into view numerous connections and relations with the whole picture of reality. Peirce received some of the esteem he deserves when the publication of his Collected Papers began more than thirty-five years ago. Some reviewers and critics, however, have attempted to fit Peirce into their own molds in justification of a particular position; others have disinterestedly sought to present him in completely detached fashion. Here, the author has attempted to understand Peirce as Peirce intended himself to be understood, and has presented what he believes Perice's philosophy of scientific method to be. He singles out for praise Peirce's Greek insistence on the primacy of theoretical knowledge and his almost Teilhardian synthesis of evolutionary themes. Primarily philosophical, this volume analyzes Peirce's thought using a theory of knowledge and metaphysics rather than formal logic.

The major principles and systems of C. S. Peirce's ground-breaking theory of signs and signification are now generally well known. Less well known, however, is the fact that Peirce initially conceived these systems within a 'Philosophy of Representation', his latter-day version of the traditional grammar, logic and rhetoric trivium. In this book, Tony Jappy traces the evolution of Peirce's Philosophy of Representation project and examines the sign systems which came to supersede it. Exploring the potential of the later sign-systems that Peirce scholars have hitherto been reluctant to engage with and extending Peirce's semiotic theory beyond the much canvassed systems of his Philosophy of Representation, this book will be essential reading for everyone working in the field of semiotics.

Le monde des dieux est une construction humaine, certes organisée, mais instable. Sans cesse mis en question et reconfiguré, il offre au regard de l’historien une plasticité qui est d’autant plus manifeste en contexte polythéiste. Car ces systèmes religieux ne s’appuient pas sur une représentation dogmatique issue de textes révélés ou d’une autorité centrale. Des élaborations et des ajustements y sont sans cesse à l’oeuvre, selon des opérations pragmatiques que, avec Lévi-Strauss, on qualifiera de ‘bricolages’. L’enjeu de cette dynamique de la ‘fabrique’ du divin n’est rien moins que notre compréhension de chaque divinité en particulier - comment et pourquoi fait-on un dieu, ce dieu, tous les dieux, ou le dieu ? - et notre capacité à rendre compte des structurations et fonctionnements de ces ensembles complexes qui ont bel et bien une histoire. En quoi, par exemple, le genre littéraire est-il créateur de représentation, et de quel type de représentation, différente de celle que construirait un autre registre d’expression ? En quoi les formes rhétoriques ou iconographiques conditionnent-elles la représentation du divin et en sont-elles des facteurs de fixation ou d’évolution ? Comment le rituel est-il à même de modifier l’image d’un dieu, et pas seulement d’informer sur lui ? Comment les artisans créateurs d’images sont-ils capables, par leurs oeuvres, d’ouvrir à de nouvelles interprétations des divinités, tout en étant tenus de respecter une figuration reconnaissable, voire attendue, par les fidèles ? L’érudition à l’oeuvre dans des cercles d’intellectuels a-t-elle un impact sur la représentation des dieux en contexte rituel ? Autant de questions qui relèvent des processus par lesquels le divin se ‘fabrique’ et que le présent volume pose dans diverses aires culturelles de l’Antiquité méditerranéenne.
