Abstract:

Peirce's (1906) proposal that the universe as a whole, even if it does not 
consist exclusively of signs, is yet everywhere perfused with signs, is a 
thesis that better than any other sums up the life and work of Thomas A. 
Sebeok, "inventor" of semiotics as we know it today.

Semiotics - the doctrine of signs - has a long and intriguing history that 
extends back well beyond the last century, two and a half millennia to 
Hippocrates of Cos. It ranges through the teachings of Augustine, Scholastic 
philosophy, the work of Peirce and Saussure. Yet a fully-fledged doctrine of 
signs, with many horizons for the future, was the result of Sebeok's work in 
the twentieth century. The massive influence of this work, as well as 
Sebeok's convening of semiotic projects and encouragement of a huge 
number of researchers globally, which, in turn, set in train countless research 
projects, is difficult to document and has not been assessed until now. This 
volume, using the testimonies of key witnesses and participants in the 
semiotic project, offers a picture of how Sebeok, through his development of 
knowledge of endosemiotics, phytosemiotics, biosemiotics and 
sociosemiotics, enabled semiotics in general to redraw the boundaries of 
science and the humanities as well as nature and culture.
