Peirce and law

Más información sobre el libro

This is the first collection of papers on the general topic of Peirce and Law to be compiled in a single volume. Peirce's theory of signs, assumed to be seminal for modern semiotics and especially for legal semiotics, is the unifying focus for these crossdisciplinary studies in Peirce's philosophy and theories of law. Peirce's Pragmatism, his Normative Sciences, his influences on various schools of jurisprudence, and on general semiotics are all discussed here in rich detail by distinguished scholars. This volume includes papers presented at the Peirce Sesquicentennial Congress, in the Special Session on Peirce and Law, and related papers as well.
