CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS
SEMIOTICS AND PEIRCE
James Jakób Liszka (USA) | Peirce’s Aesthetics as Good Design
Peirce developed a strikingly new vision for aesthetics. He saw it, in the words of Schiller, as a study of “living shapes,” a matter of good design. The latter involved not only the fit between form and function, but also the determination of the goodness of functions and ends. For Peirce, the highest end of good design is improvement, working from the problems of existing designs toward betterment. All other ends should be conducive to this higher one. Peirce thought good design applied widely to artifacts, practices, institutions and living environments.
