Following my study of Gadamer, I began reading (albeit slowly) Umberto Eco’s Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language. The text is not entry-level, and is largely operating higher than my level of knowledge, but his explanations still reach me and are gradually shaping my understanding of these broader-level semiotic issues. At this point I’ve finished the book and I’ve sharpened both my ideas and my understanding of his thought, so it’s time to review, for your edification and mine.
