    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Semiotics; Aesthetics; Epistemology; Inquiry; Diagrammatic reasoning; Comparative literature; Litteraturvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with establishing a bridge between matters of aesthetics and epistemology, by investigating the mechanisms through which artworks allow agents to derive knowledge through the former’s manipulation. It is proposed that, in order to understand the epistemic potential of artworks, we need to approach them as diagrams, in the sense developed by Charles Peirce. READ MORE
