Pandora and Occam (1992): On the Limits of Language and Literature

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1992, this book brings analytic philosophy to bear on issues of Continental philosophy, with attention to linguistics, semiology, and semiotics. Instead of regarding meanings as guaranteed by definitions, the author argues that linguistic expressions are schemata directing us toward the activation of nonlinguistic sign systems.
