THE SELF AS A SIGN, THE WORLD, AND THE OTHER: LIVING SEMIOTICS
Book ID/图书代码： 13149013B62791
English Summary/英文概要： Ostentation of the Subject is a practice that is asserting itself ever more in today’s world. Consequently, criticism by philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists has been to little effect, considering that they are not immune to such practices themselves. The question of subjectivity concerns the close and the distant, the self and the other, the other from self and the other of self. It is thus connected to the question of the sign. It calls for a semiotic approach because the self is itself a sign; its very own relation with itself is a relation among signs. This book commits to developing a critique of subjectivity in terms of the "material" that the self is made of, that is, the material of signs.
Susan Petrilli highlights the scholarship of Charles Pierce, Mikhail Bakhtin, Roland Barthes, Mary Boole, Jacques Derrida, Michael Foucault, Emmanuel Levinas, Claude Levi-Strauss, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Charles Morris, Thomas Sebeok, Thomas Szasz, and Victoria Welby. Included are American and European theories and theorists, evidencing the relationships interconnecting American, Italian, French, and German scholarship.
Petrilli covers topics from identity issues that are part of semiotic views, to the corporeal self as well as responsibility, reason, and freedom. Her book should be read by philosophers, semioticians, and other social scientists.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本书强烈推荐给哲学家,符号学家和其他的社会科学家去阅读。
在当今世界里，徒有其表已是一种习惯，每个人都在始终维护自己的良好形象。因此,批评哲学家、心理学家、社会学家和人类学家对此所作出的批评一直收效甚微,考虑到它们本身无法避免这种习惯。主观性问题涉及个人熟悉以及陌生的事物,自我和其他人,其他人眼中的自我和自我眼中的其他人。因此，它与符号性问题联系在一起。它需要一种符号学的方法,因为自己本身就是一个标志,其与自己的关系,本身就是一种符号之间的关系。本书致力于依据组成自我的“材料”,即符号的材料来开展主观性的批判。
佩特里（Petrilli）涵盖了这些主题，从符号学观点中一部分的身份问题,到自我的实体本身以及责任,理性,和自由。（Susie）
