Summary:

An introduction to a semiotic legal esthetic based on the ideas of Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914). Traces a continuity of thought on conflicts, contradictions, and paradox represented in and by law through the growth of modern semiotics from Peirce to legal realism and thence branching into legal semiotics and critical legal theory. Also identifies and clarifies relationships between the three divisions of Peirce's normative sciences--logic, ethics, and esthetics. A working knowledge of the terminology of semiotics is assumed.
