Abstract
The first two volumes of John Deely's trilogy, Postmodernity in Philosophy: A Poinsot Trilogy, address the role of John Poinsot in the evolution of semiotics from its protosemiotic beginnings (Augustine & Poinsot: The Protosemiotic Development, Volume 1) and its subsequent cryptosemiotic period (Descartes & Poinsot: The Crossroad of Signs and Ideas, Volume 2). The third volume entitled Peirce & Poinsot: The Action of Signs from Nature to Ethics will appear in late 2010 or 2011. The first two volumes of this trilogy and the forthcoming third volume will provide the reader with the evolutionary history of semiotics from its beginnings to the twenty-first century.
