Parallel title: Parallel title: An Archetype of Chinese Ethics and Academic Ideology
Other title information: A Hermeneutico-Semiotic Study
Annotation: Intercultural philosophy does not take its starting point from the comparison of different cultures from a neutral point of view, it instead arises through the confrontation with certain features of another culture which distance the philosopher from his or her own tradition, compelling it to be regarded in a new way. In dealing with the origins of Confucian ethics, You-Zheng Li does exactly this. His extensive training in Western Hermeneutics and semiotics enables him to reformulate the set of ethical customs, rituals, rules and strategies formulated 2500 years ago in ancient China. In contrast to Western ethics, which are thoroughly penetrated by the divine commands of the Judeo-Christian tradition and mainly characterized by the search for the practical good and one's own happiness begun in Greek and Roman philosophy, Chinese ethics originated and developed largely outside the domains of religion and philosophy. In attempting to elaborate on the specific nature of these ethics, the author navigates between Scylla and Charybdis. He seeks to avoid the one extreme of merely repeating from the inside what has already been said, with its effective reduction of ethical theory to certain reflexes of practical life. Just as well, however, he tries to avoid the other extreme of measuring ancient traditions by external standards and therewith exchanging old prejudices for new ones. He much rather tries to elucidate the foundation of Chinese ethics by using a certain language and a certain method which, as only one language and one method among others, does not aver to exhaust the inherent sense and the efficacious demand of what has been or is still being lived out and practised.

Other title information: poetic logic as a contemporary theory
Annotation: In this book, Paul Colilli brings a unifying perspective to the time-worn debate between rationalists and empiricists by demonstrating that ratio-logical thinking is based on, not separate from, poetico-logical thinking. Colilli sets out his theory of poetic logic through an analysis of works by a range of thinkers and writers that include Paolo Valesio, Franco Rella, Giorgio Agamben, Martin Heidegger, Carl Jung, Giambattista Vico, and Giordano Bruno.

Beyond the symbol model
View details
Other title information: Reflections on the Representational Nature of Language
Annotation: Beyond the Symbol Model: Reflections on the Representational Nature of Language presents arguments on several sides of the contemporary debate over the representational nature of language. Contributors include philosophers, linguists, psychologists, semioticians, and communication theorists from the U.S., Canada, Britain, Northern Ireland, and Israel. The chapters respond to the argument that language can no longer be viewed as a system of signs or symbols, and that a post-semiotic account can be developed from the recognition that language is first and foremost constitutive articulate contact.

The Muses
View details
Annotation: This book, by one of the most challenging contemporary thinkers, begins with an essay that introduces the principal concern sustained in the four succeeding ones: Why are there several arts and not just one? This question focuses on the point of maximal tension between the philosophical tradition and contemporary thinking about the arts: the relation between the plurality of the human senses--to which the plurality of the arts has most frequently been referred--and sense or meaning in general. Throughout the five essays, Nancy's argument hinges on the culminating formulation of this relation in Hegel's Aesthetics and The Phenomenology of Spirit--art as the sensible presentation of the Idea. Demonstrating once again his renowned ability as a reader of Hegel, Nancy scrupulously and generously restores Hegel's historical argument concerning art as a thing of the past, as that which is negated by the dialectic of Spirit in the passage from aesthetic religion to revealed religion to philosophy.

Peirce's Semiotics Now

- a primer
View details
Annotation: Peirce's Semiotics Now: A Primer is written for the student of semiotics, linguistics, communication, literary and aesthetic studies and philosophy. It provides a penetrating introduction to Charles S. Peirce's concept of the sign, as distinguished from Ferdinand de Saussure's linguistic theory. The author places Peircean semiotics in today's cultural setting. It thus accounts for our multicultural, intertextual, high-tech, postmodern scene, as a set of unifying ideas at the heart of which lies semiosis, the perpetual movement of signs

Semiological Reduction

Other title information: a critique of the deconstructionist movement in postmodern thought
Annotation: This book interprets Derrida and looks beyond deconstructionism. It is a critique that identifies a pervasive flaw in Derrida's thinking: the semiological reduction that permeates deconstructionist theory and postmodernism in general. The critique focuses on Derrida, but its conclusions may be applied to other major figures in the postmodern tradition who espouse the variant of Saussurean semiology that reduces all meaning to the signification of signs. This book challenges the philosophy of deconstruction at its roots, and does so on the basis of a diligent reading of central texts and an understanding of the tradition of Continental philosophy providing the context for Derridian thought

Ecstatic Naturalism
- Dependent title
- Signs of the world
View details
Annotation: Semiotic theory, which has restricted its focus largely to human forms of signification, is transformed by Robert S. Corrington into a semiotics of nature itself. Corrington situates the divide between "nature naturing" and "nature natured" within the context of classical American pragmaticism and postmodern psychoanalysis. At the heart of this new metaphysics is an insistence that all signs participate in larger orders of meaning that are natural and religious. Meanings embodied in nature point beyond nature to the mystery inherent in positioned codes and signs

Origins of Semiosis

Other title information: Sign Evolution in Nature and Culture
Annotation: The all-comprehensive scope set by the topic of Origins of Semiosis necessarily encompasses a great thematic diversity. The disciplinary horizon of the contributors to this volume is also highly diverse: it extends from anthropology to zoology and from linguistics to visual aesthetics. Unity in this diversity may be provided by the transdisciplinary framework of semiotics which guides the authors' explorations in the evolution of semiosis, even though the framework of this volume is by no means one of a unifying school of specific semiotic theory.

Annotation: The general topic of this book, miscarried justice, is suggested by the title's allusion to the sightlessness of th proverbial representation of justice. Viewpoints from several academic disciplines, e.g. philosophy, sociology, linguistics, criminal justice, literary criticisms, and religious studies, are brought together with theories of law. This collection is not only interdisciplinary, but cross-cultural as well. The common language is 'legal semiotics', in both a Peircean and non_peircean idiolect. This collection is a rich cross-referential research tool for investigators of law and semiotics in all its aspects. -cover

Pandora and Occam

Other title information: on the Limits of Language and Literature
Annotation: Evoking Pandora and Occam as metaphoric corner posts in an argument about language as discourse, Horst Ruthrof brings analytic philosophy to bear on issues of Continental philosophy, with attention to linguistic, semiological, and semiotic concerns. Instead of regarding meanings as guaranteed by definitions, the author argues that linguistic expressions are schemata directing us more or less loosely toward the activation of nonlinguistic sign systems. Ruthrof draws up a heuristic hierarchy of discourses, with literary expression at the top, descending through communication-reduced reference and speech acts to formal logic and digital communication at the bottom.

Annotation: Alla gångbara cynismer och sofismer om konstnärliga schabloners ofrånkomlighet och subjektets undergång i vår komplicerade massmediala värld etc sopas bort av Bachtins enkla uppmaning att konsten på allvar, att svara på det tilltal som riktas mot en: "För det som jag förstått och upplevt i konsten är jag skyldig att ansvara med mitt liv, så att allt det som jag upplevt och förstått inte skall vara verkningslöst i livet." All common cynicisms and sophisms about the inevitability of artistic templates and the demise of the subject in our complicated mass media world, etc., are swept away by Bakhtin's simple call to take art seriously, to respond to the appeal that is made to one: "For what I have understood and experienced in art, I am obliged to be responsible with my life, so that all that I have experienced and understood shall not be ineffective in life."

Semiotics, Self, and Society
View details
Annotation: These essays are concerned with the philosophical "category of person", viewed from anthropological and semiotic perspectives. In one sense the essays continue the Annee Sociologique tradition and the work of Marcel Mauss (1985 [1938]), whose classic study charted a comparative approach to the cultural construction of the self-concept. And in this same sense they continue also the work of Irving Hallowell (1955a,b) and his students (see Fogelson 1982), who have probed empirically the problem of how different cultures differentially encode understandings of what it means to be a self, with relative boundedness with respect to other-selves and with respect to the world of non-selves.

The Romantic Irony of Semiotics
View details
Other title information: Friedrich Schlegel and the Crisis of Representation
Annotation: It is a consequence of the ways in which problems in philosophizing about language have currently come to be dominated by semiotic issues that we now, more than ever, tend to study language as some form of evocation of the world. This book, grounded in this global perspective, may be read as an attempt to answer the question: what sort of picture of the world is irony? The overall response that we arrive at is that the discourse of ironic consciousness is a (self-) reflexive engagement with the world rather than any unilateral objective representation of it.
