Vico's New Science of Ancient Signs: A Study of Sematology (Routledge Studies in the History of Linguistics)

Jürgen Trabant reads the profound insights into human semiosis contained in Vico's 'sematology' as both a spirited rejection of Cartesian philosophy and an early critique of enlightened logocentricism. Sean Ward's translation makes this work available to an English-reading audience for the first time.
