Based on “paradigm” and “progress” metatheoretical categories provided by Thomas Kuhn in The structure of scientific revolutions, 1962, this paper analyzes two Paris School Semiotics texts about the modalities believing and knowing: “Le savoir et le croire: un seul univers cognitif”, published in 1983 by Algirdas Julien Greimas; and “Reconnaissance de l’espace fiduciaire”, published by Claude Zilberberg in 1988. By means of a historiographical point of view, we propose a critical reading of these texts in order to analyze and discuss semiotics development and evolution about the aforementioned modalities.
