Ranulph Glanville and How to Live the Cybernetics of Unknowing
Cybersemiotics and the reasoning powers of the universe
To follow the transdisciplinary ambition in much information science and philosophy leading to cognitive science we need to include a phenomenological and hermeneutical ground in order to encompass a theory of interpretative meaning and signification to achieve a transdisciplinary theory of knowing and communication. This is also true if we start in cybernetics and system theory that also have transdisciplinary aspirations for instance in Bateson…
Cosmos and creativity
Any great new theoretical framework has an epistemological and an ontological aspect to its philosophy as well as an axiological one, and one needs to understand all three aspects in order to grasp the deep aspiration and idea of the theoretical framework. Presently, there is a widespread effort to understand C. S. Peirce's (1837–1914) pragmaticistic semeiotic, and to develop it by integrating the results of modern science and evolutionary thinki…
A Peircean Panentheist Scientific Mysticism
Peirce's philosophy can be interpreted as an integration of mysticism and science.In Peirce's philosophy mind is feeling on the inside and on the outside, spontaneity, chance and chaos with a tendency to take habits.Peirce's philosophy has an emptiness beyond the three worlds of reality (his Categories), which is the source from where the categories spring.He emphasizes that God cannot be conscious in the way humans are, because there is no conte…
Ficta
This article analyzes the use of fictionalization in popular science communication as an answer to changing demands for science communication in the mass media. It concludes that a new genre—Ficta—arose especially with the work of Michael Crichton. The Ficta novel is a fiction novel based on a real scientific problem, often one that can have or already does have serious consequences for our culture or civilization. The Ficta novel is a new way fo…
The cybersemiotic model of communication
The present paper discusses various suggestions for a philosophical framework for a transdisciplinary information science or a semiotic doctrine. These are: the mechanical materialistic, the pan-informational, the Luhmanian second order cybernetic approach, Peircian biosemiotics and finally, the pan-semiotic approach. The limitations of each are analyzed. The conclusion is that we will not have to choose between a cybernetic-informational and a s…
The construction of information and communication
This article praises the development of second order cybernetics by von Foerster, Maturana, and Varela as an important step in deepening our understanding of the bio-psychological foundation of the dynamics of information, cognition, and communication. Luhmann's development of the theory into the realm of social communication is seen as a necessary and important move. The triple autopoietic differentiation between biological, psychological, and s…
Problems concerning the process of subject analysis and the practice of indexing
L'A. analyse la complexite de l'indexation a la lumiere de la theorie semiotique pragmatique de Peirce et de la semantique cognitive de Lakoff afin de donner un fondement theorique a cette tâche. Se situant dans le prolongement de l'approche cybersemiotique des sciences de l'information de Brier, l'A. demontre que ces perspectives theoriques ont un rapport avec l'indexation et la representation bibliographique, et pourraient servir de methode pou…
Intrasemiotics and cybersemiotics
The concept of intrasemiotics designates the semiosis of the interpenetration between the biological and psychological autopoietic systems as Luhmann defines them in his theory. Combining a Peircian concept of semiosis with Luhmann’s theory in the framework of biosemiotics makes it possible for us to view the interplay of mind and body as a sign play. The recently suggested term ‘sign play’ pertains to ecosemiotics processes between animals of th…
Cybersemiotics and Umweltlehre
Ecosemiotics and cybersemiotics
The article develops a suggestion of how cybersemiotics is pertinent to ecosemiotics. Cybersemiotics uses Luhmann's triadic view of autopoietic systems (biological, psychological, and socio-communicative autopoiesis) and adopts his approach to communication within a biosemiotic framework. The following levels of exosemiosis and signification can be identified under the consideration of nonintentional signs, cybernetics, and information theory: (1…
