The best and most balanced full account of Peirces semiotic which contributes not only to semiotics but to philosophy. Liszkas book is the sourcebook for scholars in general. Nathan Houser

Although 19th-century philosopher and scientist Charles Sanders Peirce was a prolific writer, he never published his work on signs in any organized fashion, making it difficult to grasp the scope of his thought. In this book, Liszka presents a systematic and comprehensive acount of Peirces theory, including the role of semiotic in the system of sciences, with a detailed analysis of its three main branchesgrammar, critical logic, and universal rhetoric.
