Doug,
There's a couple of relatively contemporary connections,
highlighting the communicative action aspect of things --
"action oriented toward reaching understanding" (AOTRU) --
that I think you might find of interest:
| Jurgen Habermas,
|'Postmetaphysical Thinking: Philosophical Essays',
| W.M. Hohengarten (trans.), MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1992.
|
| esp. Chapt. 4, "Toward a Critique of the Theory of Meaning",
| and Chapt. 5, "Peirce and Communication".
Cheers,
Jon
