In this paper I will discuss some contributions of the Polish epistemologist Ludwik Fleck (1896–1961) on vision and image-making (in scientific work, but also in gen- eral), by developing in a specific direction some general observations by Francesco Coniglione, who has devoted a long and detailed work to reconstructing his thought and outlining his importance. In particular, I will compare the observations and notions developed by Fleck with some authors who developed a theory on the same subject from a semiotic perspective: Ch. S. Peirce, Fr.

Abstract

In this paper I will discuss some contributions of the Polish epistemologist Ludwik Fleck (1896–1961) on vision and image-making (in scientific work, but also in gen- eral), by developing in a specific direction some general observations by Francesco Coniglione, who has devoted a long and detailed work to reconstructing his thought and outlining his importance. In particular, I will compare the observations and notions developed by Fleck with some authors who developed a theory on the same subject from a semiotic perspective: Ch. S. Peirce, Fr. Bastide and Ch. Goodwin.
