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.
