Tractatus de Signis: The Semiotic of John Poinsot - Corrected Second Edition

More about the book

The book offers a critical bilingual edition of Poinsot's 1632 work on signs, enhanced with a new foreword and a correlation table linking it to the original Cursus Philosophicus. This influential synthesis of Latin thought, alongside Descartes, integrates philosophies of signs from Aristotle to Aquinas and Renaissance thinkers. Poinsot's contributions were pivotal in the 20th-century revival of Thomism, notably influencing Jacques Maritain. The depth of scholarship makes this work a significant resource for understanding the evolution of philosophical thought on signs.
