Description: "Peirce and the Mark of the Gryphon draws from the unpublished manuscripts of American semiotician Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) to explore how he conceived of the evolution of thought, from instinct and imagination, as in myth, to ideas that are exchangeable units of meaning. This illuminating volume further examines Peirce's cosmology as open-ended, nonfinite, and self-organizing.

Kevelson has undertaken the first comprehensive study of Peircean process - from imagination/idea to idea as thought."--BOOK JACKET.
