Opis

This book examines the significance of Peirce’s work on perception, iconicity, and diagrammatic thinking. Peirce’s theories transform the Aristotelian, Humean, and Kantian paradigms that continue to hold sway today and forge a new path for understanding the centrality of visual thinking in science, education, art, and communication.

Recenzje

"This book contains original, insightful, and inspiring papers on important aspects of Peirce’s theory of perception, the role of icons and indices in reasoning, and diagrammatic reasoning more generally. This is most certainly a must-read book for anyone interested in the most recent work on the later Peirce, theories of perception, the connection between perception and semiotics, phenomenology, visual thinking, and the constitutive role of diagrams in logic and reasoning." – Cornelis de Waal, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, USA
