The article compares the views of philosopher Charles S. Peirce regarding the second person pronoun to the views of philosophers including Wilhelm von Humboldt, Émile Benveniste, and Aristotle. Topics include the influence of philosopher Friedrich Schiller on Peirce, the relation of Peirce's thought to that of philosopher Immanuel Kant, and the philosophy of language. Also noted are the notion of linguistic universals, the views of philosopher Ernst Cassirer regarding language, and the role of universals in Peirce's semiotics.
