The Sign and Eco. Problems, discussions and possible solutions
Keywords:
Semiótica, Signo, Eco, Tratado, OrnitorrincoAbstract
Umberto Eco’s A Theory of Semiotics has a notion of sign which Eco himself seems to have overlooked or omitted, not only through this book´s pages, but also along those of Kant and the Platypus. In my opinion, this omission has prevented Eco from satisfactorily solving most of the semiotic problems posed in both works by him. Thus, this paper starts by tackling some contradictions in that notion of sign to later apply the conclusions to those aforementioned semiotic problems in an attempt to find correct solutions for them.
