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 \u003cem\u003efrom \u003c\/em\u003eself and the other \u003cem\u003eof\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Petrilli\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ehighlights the scholarship of Charles Peirce, Mikhail Bakhtin, Roland Barthes, Mary Boole, Jacques Derrida, Michael Foucault, Emmanuel Levinas, Claude Levi-Strauss, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Charles Morris, Thomas Sebeok\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: The Sign “Self ” and Its Interpretations; 2: A Terminological and Conceptual Intermezzo; 3: The Inner-Outer Illusion; 4: The Self as Opening to the Other; 5: Self, Other, and Values; 6: The Self in Language and Communication; 7: Critique of Identity: For an Extracommunitarian Self; 8: Self, Freedom, and the Word’s Otherness\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408049709399,"sku":"9781412851824","price":121.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-self-as-a-sign-the-world-and-the-other-9781412851824","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
