摘要
一个世纪前皮尔斯为符号学打下的基础,已经取代索绪尔的符号学思想,成为符号学主流的源头。其中原因,首先是因为皮尔斯对形式的本质见解独到,使符号学能成为"人文科学的数学"。皮尔斯的三元体系,自觉地向无限衍义开放。他对人的思维接近"真相"的潜力的信心,以及他对"探究社群"的独特见解,让符号表意成为凝聚社会的力量。皮尔斯生前研究环境不利,他的论说过分散乱,他的著作不容易读。回到皮尔斯,将使中国符号学运动走向新的高度。
The foundation laid by Charles Sanders Peirce for semiotics one century ago has been replacing Saussure's to become the cornerstone of the discipline today.There are a number of reasons behind the replacement.First of all,Peirce held a far-reaching view on the nature of form,which turns semiotics into "the mathematics of human sciences".The triadic system that Peirce designed is open to unlimited semiosis.His confidence in the human mind's affinity with "truth" through the "community of inquiry" makes signification an inter-subjective cement for society.Though his works are not easy to read due to the fact that his whole life was spent in adverse conditions unsuitable for academic thinking,returning to Peirce will definitely help the Chinese semiotic movement push forward to new heights.
