Synopsis

" . . . a comprehensive analysis and redefinition of the thought of Jonathan Edwards." --Peirce Project Newsletter

" . . . a new foundation for the study of Edwards's thought and rhetoric." --Wilson H. Kimnach

". . . this is a superb and important book, one that deserves to be widely read and vigorously discussed." --Transactions of the Charles S. Pierce Society

". . . Daniel's work ought . . . to be required reading among the Edwards guild, for it provides perhaps the best philosophical introduction in English to Edward's major writings." --Church History

Drawing on the semiotic work of Peirce, Foucault, and Kristeva, Stephen Daniel shows how the Renaissance theory of signatures provides Edwards and his contemporaries with a powerful alternative to the ideas of Descartes and Locke.
