Abstract
In reconstructing the early history of
semiotics, it is not possible to ignore St.
Augustine and Sextus Empiricus, both of
whom have written explicitly about the sign
in general. What mediates the two
philosophers who represent opposite positions
regarding "truth" is the tertium comprationis
semiotics and a specific "culture préparatoire"
of liberal arts as a requisite for the aspired
"culture philosophique" (Marrou, 184). If
another Third is required to form the Peircian
triangle, let me evoke Cicero occasionally
who serves not only to mediate the traditional
arts of dialectic and rhetoric (oratory), but
also to link the late Latin encyclopaedists,
such as Augustine and Boethius, to their
Greek legacy. This project, therefore,
attempts, firstly, to explore the concepts of
sign according to Sextus Empiricus and
Augustine, and then to establish the
relationship between this embryonic science
of sign and artes liberales.
