My ambition in these few pages is to draw attention to the three types of icons identified by Peirce - images, diagrams or metaphors - which, I shall be arguing, must be reckoned with when examining the processes by which human agency invents (or re-invents) the real. In order to illustrate these types of icon, I shall propose a few exemple.
