John Deely (born April 26, 1942) is an American philosopher and semiotician.〔See Paul Cobley’s remark, in ''Realism for the 21st Century: A John Deely Reader'' (ed. Cobley), p. 3: “While Charles Sanders Peirce is acknowledged as the greatest American philosopher, John Deely, in his wake, is arguably the most important ''living'' American philosopher.” Cf. in same volume the multifarious and world-spanning recommendations of Deely’s work from countries as diverse as Africa, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Ukraine, and the US.〕 He is a Professor of Philosophy at the Center for Thomistic Studies of the University of St. Thomas (Houston). His main research concerns the role of semiosis (the action of signs) in mediating objects and things. He specifically investigates the manner in which experience itself is a dynamic structure (or web) woven of triadic relations (signs in the strict sense) whose elements or terms (representamens, significates and interpretants)〔 *"Representamen" (properly with the "a" long and stressed: ), is Charles Sanders Peirce's adopted (not coined) technical term for the ''sign'' as covered in his theory. Peirce used the technical term in earlier years in case a divergence should come to light between his theoretical version and the popular senses of the word "sign". Deely argues that the word "sign" is best used for the full triadic relation of representamen, significate object, and interpretant. *"Significate" and "significate object" are interchangeable in Deely's terminology, and correspond to that which Peirce called the ''semiotic object'' or the ''object''. See Deely's ''The Green Book: The Impact of Semiotics on Philosophy'', December 2000. (Eprint ). The object is that for which the representamen stands, its subject matter. *"Interpretant" is Peirce's term for a sign's meaning or ramification as formed into a kind of effect which is a further sign, for example a translation.〕 interchange positions and roles over time in the spiral of semiosis. He was 2006-2007 Executive Director of the Semiotic Society of America. Deely is married to Maritain scholar〔Author of ''Jacques Maritain: Antimodem or Ultramodern?
