{"product_id":"peirces-esthetics-of-freedom-robert-ginsberg-9780820418988","title":"Peirce's Esthetics of Freedom: Possibility, Complexity, and Emergent Value","description":"According to Peirce, the value of the idea of freedom arises only to oppose the idea of necessity. Freedom emerges as a working value, a primary esthetic principle, in response to that which is perceived as fixed, determined, necessary, absolute. The idea of Freedom materializes, assumes a million appearances, wears its ten million masks...\u003cbr\u003e ...Freedom as the Freedom-to-Focus is a Peircean esthetic process that becomes realized through the three stages of Fragment\/Fractal, Fact, Form. This triadic process corresponds to the semiotic functions of Icon, Index, Symbol.\u003cbr\u003e Freedom's course is nonlineal, self-corrective, dynamic, open: Freedom is the occasion for Chaos, and Chaos is the locus of Form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Ginsberg,Roberta Kevelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820418986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820418988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Robert Ginsberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457733964031,"sku":"9780820418988","price":87.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_354a3f77-b53a-4719-8ff5-08e44113c954.jpg?v=1777400714","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peirces-esthetics-of-freedom-robert-ginsberg-9780820418988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
