Abstract
The predominant emphasis in this book on the affinities between Peircean semiotics and common law traditions in a modern Anglo-American legal system may convey to the reader the idea that a legal semiotics is applicable only to systems of law that share a general background with common law countries, on the basis of cultural customs, consensus, contract, property, and the like. This is not the case; the theories are widely applicable to all legal systems. But an introduction to legal semiotics is more readily given with respect to common law because fundamental concepts are shared by both, in different ways, but in ways that permit intersystemic communication between philosophy and law to be more apparent to the newcomer to this point of view.
