It is commonly accepted that the acts of learning and teaching imply affection of some sort, and Charles Peirce’s evolutionary semiotics thoroughly explains learning as an act of love. According to Peirce, we evolved to learn and to love; learning from other people has proved to be one of the best ways to carry out our infinite pursuit of truth, since love is the very characteristic of truth. As such, the teacher and the student practise love in their relation with one another. Grounded within an edusemiotics framework and also exploring the iconic turn in semiotics and recent developments in biosemiotics, this is the first book-length study of Peirce’s contribution to the philosophy of education. Contents Contents: Semiotics and Education – Charles S. Peirce’s List of Categories and Taxonomy of Signs – Semiotics as Pragmatic Logic – Education in Peirce’s Divisions of Science – Suprasubjective Being and Suprasubjective Learning – From Icon to Argument – Diagrammatic Reasoning and Learning – Agapic Learning – The Peircean Theory of Learning and Phenomenology – Possible Objections. About the author(s)/editor(s) Alin Olteanu holds a PhD in Philosophy of Education from the University of Roehampton. He is a member of the Semiotics and Education Network and an active researcher in these fields.

Reviews «In this book, Alin Olteanu develops implications for education from Charles Peirce’s philosophy. Taking his point of departure in an erudite conception of Peirce’s pragmatism and semiotics, Olteanu ventures into the challenging waters of Peircean metaphysics, finding basic educational guidelines in his proposal of so-called ‘evolutionary love’ as an organizing principle. This is a high-risk suggestion – but one whose implications are worth tracing.» (Frederik Stjernfelt, University of Copenhagen) [image: Gary Richmond] *Gary Richmond* *Philosophy and Critical Thinking* *Communication Studies* *LaGuardia College of the City University of New York* *C 745* *718 482-5690*
