This collected volume celebrates the life and work of the late Andrew Stables, a renowned scholar in semiotics and in educational philosophy and theory. He is known, in particular, for having pioneered the semiotic approach to education. This book celebrates his work with scholarly contributions by leading researchers in these areas of scholarship, reflecting on Andrew Stables' thought and intellectual legacy. The contributions are interdisciplinary, which reflects Stables' eclectic work. Also included are new and unpublished texts of Andrew Stables. The text is divided into three parts: Philosophy of Education, Learning as Semiotic, and Environmental Literacies. It appeals to students and researchers working in philosophy of education broadly, semiotic-oriented approaches to education, as well as discussions on multimodality.
