Umberto Eco: General Semiotics Theory

The *Umberto Eco Mania Collection* contains most of Eco's works published over a period of about 50 years, excluding his novels and children's books, covering philosophy, semiotics, literary theory, cultural criticism, and columns. Through persistent tracking across Italy and the United States, this collection has even revived books that were out of print and unavailable in Italy. Umberto Eco, who could not be called one of the most influential thinkers of our time, is a passionate writer who began his work at the age of 24 and continues to write to this day at the age of 77. His masterpiece, *The Name of the Rose*, has been translated into over 40 languages, and he has received honorary doctorates from more than 30 universities worldwide. He is also a recognized scholar in academia, having lectured at Harvard University and Cambridge University. Volume 7, *The Theory of General Semiotics*, explains the possibilities and limitations of semiotics as diagnosed by Eco, who had reached the pinnacle of his career as a semiotician. Published during a time when semiotics was beginning to attract serious interest in Europe, Eco himself emphasizes that this is the "decisive" work among his semiotic books.
