Existential Semiotics cover

A fascinating series of essays seeking to define the new philosophical dimension of semiotics.

Defines the philosophical field of existential semiotics. Existential semiotics involves a priori state of signs and their fixation into objective entities. There is a hermeneutic and phenomenological aspect to the work. Its sources are in Husserl, Schutz, Merleau-Ponty, Hegel, Schelling, Kierkegaard, Jaspers, and Heidegger.

Existential semiotics involves an a priori state of signs and their fixation into objective entities. These essays define this new philosophical field.

Tarasti's explanations, analyses and comments of sign processes in art and everyday life might seem amazing at first sight. He is not afraid of heavily speculative and heavily metaphysical thinking. . . . [he] wants to show us that there can be more involved in sign processes than pure conventionality, maybe even something that is beyond the grasp of the Semiotician.34 2004
