Abstract

Charles Peirce, the founder of pragmatism, was a thinker of extraordinary depth and range - he wrote on philosophy, mathematics, psychology, physics, logic, phenomenology, semiotics, religion and ethics - but his writings are difficult and fragmentary. This book provides a clear and comprehensive explanation of Peirce's thought. His philosophy is presented as a systematic response to 'nominalism', the philosophy which he most despised and which he regarded as the underpinning of the dominant philosophical worldview of his time. The book explains Peirce's challenge to nominalism as a theory of meaning and shows its implications for his views of knowledge, truth, the nature of reality, and ethics. It will be essential reading both for Peirce scholars and for those new to his work.

Abstract

Das Buch stellt avancierte Konzepte aus System- und Zeichentheorie vor, nämlich das Theorem Niklas Luhmanns von der strukturellen Kopplung von Bewußtsein und Kommunikation und den dreiwertigen Zeichenbegriff von Charles S. Peirce. Dabei werden verstärkt auch die strukturellen Ähnlichkeiten der Theorien, wie sie insbesondere in den triadischen Modellen zum Ausdruck kommen, die man sowohl in der Autopoiesis als auch in der Semiose beobachten kann, in den Vordergrund gerückt, da sie neue Antworten auf alte wissenschaftstheoretische und philosophische Grundsatzfragen nach Welt, Wahrheit und Subjekt erlauben. The book rests on advanced concepts central to systems theory and semiology, i.e. Niklas Luhmann's theory of the structural link between consciousness and communication and C.S. Peirce's triadic theory of signs. Emphasis is placed on the structural similarities between these theories, notably in the triadic models they advance, similarities observable both in autopoiesis and semiosis. The reason for this emphasis is the new light it casts on venerable and fundamental issues in the theory of science and philosophy, notably the debate about world, truth and subject.

Abstract

The underlying theme of this book is the analysis of Corrington's ecstatic naturalism as a breakthrough movement that combines the fields of semiotics, theology, depth psychology, and philosophy in a new metaphysics of nature. Ecstatic naturalism provides a viable alternative to Peirce's semiotic conception of the self and to Jaspers' existential elucidation of Existenz.

Abstract

Diagrams are an essential part of the most diverse processes of communication and cognition. Indeed, today the production of all kinds of text (including this one) is mediated by diagrammatic tools to be found on computer desktops. Not surprisingly, then, diagrams have become the object of much historical and theoretical work. This book--volume 2 of the Proceedings of the 33rd International Wittgenstein Symposium--is dedicated to this quickly growing field of interdisciplinary research. It includes contributions from philosophy, sociology (space syntax), art history, and history of science. Historically, there is a focus on Otto Neurath and his famous visual language (ISOTYPE), while the new attempts at theorizing diagrams presented here are mainly inspired by Charles Sanders Peirce and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Abstract

S'appuyant sur la littérature de la géographie du paysage, d'études sur le tourisme, d'études culturelles, d'études visuelles et de la philosophie, ce livre offre une approche multi-disciplinaires pour comprendre l'interaction entre les milieux urbains et les touristes. Il fait valoir que les touristes donnent un sens aux lieux qu'ils visitent. Ce cadre théorique éclaire trois études appliquées menées avec les visiteurs étrangers à la capitale hongroise de Budapest. Sur la base de travaux de terrain ethnographiques, ces études mettent l'accent sur l'interprétation des touristes du paysage urbain, avec une attention particulière aux rencontres avec la culture nationale, le rôle de l'architecture et l'importance de la prosaïque dans le tourisme urbain.
