Overview

"The Italian philosopher F. Rossi-Landi (1921-1985) conducted pioneering work in the philosophy of language. His research is characterized by a critique of language and ideology in relation to sign production processes and the process of social reproduction. ""Between Signs and Non-Signs"" is a collection of 14 articles by Rossi-Landi, written between 1952 and 1984, and gives an overview of his contribution to the philosophy of language and his critique of Charles Morris, Wittgenstein, Bachtin and his Italian contemporaries. Initiated by the author and posthumously completed by the editor, it features a complete bibliography of Rossi-Landi's writings."
