I was always under the impression that Saussere invented the term ’semitoic’
for his system of sign analysis- or that is was at least modern French in
origin.
Here is the word ancient greek that Pierce posits as ’semiotic’- see
attachment. Knowing that translating ancient Greek is a problematic task at
best, under what auspices does he ‘determine’ that it corresponds to
semiotic, a concept which I understood to be modern. Also from where has he
pulled this word- Plato I would have as a guess- but I don’t know. Can you
(Malcom) or anyone else who can be bothered give me some background on this.
In saying this I know its a Heidegger list, and not a Pierce list, but
Pierce so blatantly rips off so much of Heidegger’s thinking without the
briefest reference. Is it merely ‘the science of signs’ or somethin akin, I
refer here to the meaning of the attached ancient greek word (attached for
you to peruse) I had to clummsily write it in photoshop- whats the font
name? You know people often refer to Pierce as the ‘American’ Derrida, or
even as a ’superior’ Derrida, but I have to say, I do not find this to be
the case- not in the same league at all.
