Title:
Persons, Signs, Animals: A Peircean Account of Personhood
Journal:
Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society
Abstract:
An essay is presented that explores American philosopher Charles Peirce's conceptualizations of personhood. The author examines Peirce's semiotic account, which asserts a person is made up of thought-sings and his naturalistic account, which states a person is an animal. The author discusses each of the accounts and attempts to reconcile them through an argument that people are distinct, yet continuous with one another.
