It is said that Hippocrates, the ancient Greek doctor, used the word Semeiotike (=the doctrine of signs) as the diagnostics. The Ancients grasped the word sign as the symptom of a disease. But we can find the new modernized usage of this word in An Essay concerning Human Understanding. John Locke said in it, "it(=semeiotike) is aptly enough termed also logike, logic". And this idea had the influence on the semiotic(s) of the Charles Sanders Peirce. But the meaning of this word in Gilles Deleuze was entirely different. He thought in the 1960's that people begin to think by sudden encounter with signs. So signs are the key of the beginning of thinking. This includes the criticism of the traditional philosophies based on logos, because they thought that people begin to think of their free will. In Difference et Repetition (Difference and Repeat, 1968) Deleuze stated eight images of thinking which obstruct the beginning of thinking by signs. One of them is to treat propositions only in the dimension of the designation and to disregard the dimension of the expression. So in Logique du sens (Logic of sense, 1969) he tried to point out the expression-dimension specifically with the non-sense of Lewis Carroll and the logic based on events of Stoicism. There aren't many adventures of Alice, but the only one adventure to come to the surface from the depth, that is the adventure to get the incorporeal splendor of language and thinking.
