Abstract
The paper deals with the problem of Eco’s (mis)interpretation of some Peirceian themes, mainly in Eco’s two texts: Theory of Semiotics and Kant and the Platypus. The author’s focus is on the problems of the so called Dynamical object as a part of semiosis and of Peirce’s realism. Resulting from the analysis is the main thesis of the article: We cannot conceive of Peirce as using „structuralist dictionary“ (as Eco did in his Theory of Semiotics).
