The 2019-2020 lecture was a continuation of an examination, begun in 2018-2019, of the links between ontology and semiotics, the aim of which was to show how, in the face of the many impasses to whichvarious " tournants " (linguistic, cognitive, etc.) have led in the 20th century, a reflection on language, but much more generally on signs and the links they weave with the mind and the world, is not necessarily dependent on a nominalistic metaphysics.on the contrary, it's possible to think in terms of language and, more generally, of signs and the links they forge with the mind and the world, without necessarily relying on a nominalistic metaphysics. On the contrary, it is possible to place semiotics within a logical, epistemological, metaphysical and realistperspective , as witnessed at the beginning of the 20th century by the systematic project undertaken by Charles Sanders Peirce. To this end, last year we looked back at a number of questions and authors who, in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and then the modern era, had attempted, with varying degrees of success, to engage in this exercise.
