Q：您現在在創作什麼作品？
答：我正為一件非常複雜的事情焦頭爛額。在美國，他們出版了一套名為「在世哲學家文庫」的鉅作。這套書最初以約翰·杜威和伯特蘭·羅素為主角，最後一本是關於理查德·羅蒂的。出於某種神秘的原因——或許是因為沒有其他人選——他們選中了我作為下一本的主角。這些書每本都有1500頁。我得寫100頁的哲學自傳。現在有25個人正在寫論文，每個人都在寫一篇關於我哲學活動的文章。我得把所有論文都讀一遍，然後對每一篇至少寫三、四頁來回應。我想我有兩年的時間來完成這項工作，但我真希望在完成之前就去世。
The Philosophy of Umberto Eco is Volume XXXV of the prestigious Library of Living Philosophers series. It examines the mind of the famous Italian semiotician, philosopher, and novelist Umberto Eco. The book collects 23 critical essays exploring his views on truth, language, and culture. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
What is the Library of Living Philosophers?
This famous academic book series dedicates one heavy book to one great living thinker. The thinker gets to read what other scholars think of their work. Then, the philosopher writes a reply.

What makes Umberto Eco special?
Umberto Eco (1932–2016) was a founder of modern semiotics. Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols. Think of it like a detective story for meaning. Eco explained that everything we see acts like a secret code. Words, colors, and even traffic signs have deep, hidden layers of meaning. [1, 2]

Why study Eco's philosophy?
Eco connected "high" art (like deep philosophy) with "low" culture (like comic books) “appealing to scholars for its wit and to high school students for its intelligibility”, as noted by Amazon. He showed that everyday things like advertising and television reveal a lot about human reality. [1]

《翁貝托‧埃科的哲學》是享有盛譽的「在世哲學家文庫」系列叢書的第35卷。本書深入探討了義大利著名符號學家、哲學家和小說家翁貝托·埃科的想法。書中收錄了23篇評論文章，探討了他對真理、語言和文化的看法。 「在世哲學家文庫」是什麼？這套著名的學術叢書以一本厚重的專著來介紹一位在世的偉大思想家。這位思想家可以閱讀其他學者對其作品的評價，然後寫下回應。翁貝托·埃科有何特別之處？翁貝托·埃科（1932-2016）是現代符號學的奠基者之一。符號學是對符號和象徵的研究。你可以把它想像成一部意義的偵探小說。埃科解釋說，我們所看到的一切都像是一個秘密代碼。文字、色彩，甚至交通標誌都蘊含著深刻而隱密的意義。為什麼要研究埃科的哲學？正如亞馬遜所指出的，埃科將「高雅」藝術（如深奧的哲學）與「通俗」文化（如漫畫）聯繫起來，「既因其機智而吸引學者，又因其通俗易懂而吸引高中生」。他指出，廣告和電視等日常事物也揭示了許多關於人類現實的資訊。本書包含哪些內容？第一部分：埃科的學術傳記。第二部分：23篇由頂尖學者撰寫的評論文章。第三部分：埃科對批評者的回應。第四部分：埃科一篇著名的短文，題為《為什麼是哲學？ 》。
