The article discusses Alexander Piatigorsky’s view of the epistemological nature of cultural semiotics as proposed by the Tartu-Moscow School. The only philosopher among the founders of the School, Piatigorsky employed elementary phenomenology to juxtapose his early understandings of the School’s philosophical status with those thirty years later. The metainterpretive character of such comparison makes the article’s author consider it to be the most productive platform for studying the evolution of the Tartu-Moscow School’s semiotics.
This article examines the contribution of the Tartu-Moscow School of Semiotics to semiotic studies of history, with the main focus on the work of Yuri Lotman and Boris Uspensky.
