Gesche LindeZeichen und GewißheitSemiotische Entfaltung eines protestantisch-theologischen Begriffs [Signs and Certainty. The Semiotic Development of a Protestant-Theological Concept.]Published in German. Processes for attaining certainty, those of the Christian faith as well, are processes of the classification of signs. Gesche Linde develops this theory in four chapters by outlining the theoretical use of the concept of signs for the problem of certainty from antiquity up to Luther and then reconstructing the system of the classification of signs into ten trichotomies described in the late works of Charles Sanders Peirce. This system makes it possible to interpret all processes of consciousness, which include feeling, acting, thinking and the understanding of language, as processes of the interpretation of signs whose structures are basically identical.
