Abstract

Abstract This article discusses John Deely’s original proposal for a reconsideration of the history of modern and postmodern philosophy when semiotic thought enters the scene of the historical narrative of philosophy. This semiotic emergency had its origins in the Middle Ages, a thought that was overlooked by Descartes, which determined its forgetfulness until the rebirth of a powerful semiotic thought in the nineteenth century marking the advent of a postmodern philosophy.
