Signs and Signification in a Global Comparative Perspective: Premodern and Early Modern Sources in Original and Translation
Theories and practices of signification have flourished across space and
time. This book examines premodern thinking on signs in ancient Greek
philosophy, Chinese divination, Islamic theology, Hebrew epistemology,
medieval Latin logic, South Asian language theory, and early modern
European artificial languages. Each chapter analyzes and contextualizes
key primary sources presented in their original language and English
translation, offering rich resources for comparative analysis of
approaches to semiosis in religious and scholarly exegesis,
prognostication, and the philosophical search for distinctions between
natural and artificial signs. The volume brings to light both universal
concerns and unique cultural features that shaped the evolution of
semiotics
