Who is John Deely?

John Deely is an American philosopher and semiotician. He is a Professor of Philosophy at the Center for Thomistic Studies of the University of St. Thomas.

His main research concerns the role of semiosis in mediating objects and things. He specifically investigates the manner in which experience itself is a dynamic structure woven of triadic relations whose elements or terms 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 Brooke Williams Smith.
