Pragmatics and Semeiotic: The Peircean Version of Ontology and Epistemology

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Synthese Library ((SYLI,volume 243))

Abstract

In his attempt to situate his own theory of symbols within the history of philosophical ideas, Nelson Goodman wrote that it belongs to

that mainstream of modern philosophy that began when Kant ex changed the structure of the world for the structure of the mind, continued when C.I. Lewis exchanged the structure of the mind for the structure of concepts, and that now proceeds to exchange the structure of concepts for the structure of the several symbol systems of the sciences, philosophy, the arts, perception, and everyday discourse. (Goodman 1978)
