In this paper I will examine the notion of “Primary Iconism” by Umberto Eco and I will connect it to Peirce’s ideas from which it has been developed, with particular attention to the notions of intuition, index, cognition and the category of Secondness. I will affirm that the original formulation in Kant and the Platypus is not compatible with Peircean anti-intuitionism, but the changes made by Eco in “The Threshold and the Infinity” are.

Abstract

In this paper I will examine the notion of “Primary Iconism” by Umberto Eco and I will connect it to Peirce’s ideas from which it has been developed, with particular attention to the notions of intuition, index, cognition and the category of Secondness. I will affirm that the original formulation in Kant and the Platypus is not compatible with Peircean anti-intuitionism, but the changes made by Eco in “The Threshold and the Infinity” are. I will finally discuss the theses by Murphey, Short, Fumagalli and Gava that support a Peircean return to intuition, which is supposed to deny the original positions of the anti-Cartesian essays, and I will reject these theses.
