 hide issue presentation

Since the two Peirceana issues of VS of 1988 and 1990, much has changed in Peirce scholarship. The present issue deals with Peirce’s notions of iconism and iconic sign, which are addressed by different and complementary perspectives. For Peirce an icon is not simply a sign that resembles its object, but more precisely a sign by the perception of which other truths concerning its object can be discovered than those that were contained in the instructions for its construction. This idea has become central in current research on diagrammatic thinking, philosophy of logic and mathematics, and visual and cognitive semiotics.
