Semiotic theory of learning: new perspectives in the philosophy of education

'Semiotic Theory of Learning' asks what learning is and what brings it about, challenging the hegemony of psychological and sociological constructions of learning in order to develop a burgeoning literature in semiotics as an educational foundation.

Drawing on theoretical research and its application in empirical studies, the book avoids the problematisation of the distinction between theory and practice in semiotics.

It covers topics such as signs, significance and semiosis; the ontology of learning; the limits of learning; ecosemiotics; ecology and sexuality.
