Title:
Peirce's Final Account of Signs and The Philosophy of Language
Journal:
Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society
Keywords:
Philosophy of Language, David Lewis, Risto Hilpinen, Sign, Reference, Semeiotic
Abstract:
The article discusses the relationship of Charles S. Peirce's semiotics with the existing philosophy of language established by contemporary philosophers including David Lewis, Helmut Pape, and Risto Hilpinen. The author explores Peirce's accounts of signs and provides information on how the signs play essential role in answering the two puzzles of reference, which are The Problem of Cognitive Significance and The Same-Saying Phenomenon for Indexicals. Furthermore, the author discusses how Peirce's accounts of signs differ with the philosophy of language by other philosophers.
