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.

机译：皮尔士（C. S. Peirce）突破性的符号理论的主要原理和系统现已广为人知。然而，鲜为人知的是，皮尔士最初是在“表述哲学”中构思这些系统的，这是他对传统语法，逻辑和修辞琐事的最新版本。在这本书中，托尼·贾普（Tony Jappy）追溯了皮尔斯（Peirce）的“代表哲学”项目的发展，并研究了取代它的标志系统。探索皮尔士学者迄今不愿参与和扩展皮尔士的符号学理论并将其扩展到超越他的《表示论哲学》体系之外的后来的符号系统的潜力，这本书对于符号学领域的每一个人都是必不可少的读物。
