Multiculturalism as Multimodal Communication

Culture Springer Cham 9783030178826 Available
View details
Other title information: A Semiotic Perspective
Annotation: This highly readable book develops a numanistic, and specifically semiotic approach to multiculturalism. It reveals how semiotics provides fresh and valuable insights into multiculturalism: in contrast to the binary logic of dualistic philosophy, semiotic logic does not understand the value of truth in rigid terms of ‘true’ or ‘false’, ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ only. The value of truth resides in meaning, which is a dynamic, evolutionary phenomenon, rooted, nevertheless, in factuality. Drawing on recent developments in biosemiotics, the book presents a theoretical approach to multiculturalism, regarding the lives of people living in multicultural environments. Rather than analyzing political or economic phenomena, it offers a semiotic analysis of multiculturalism and discusses its educational implications. It also invites readers to regard learning as a phenomenon of ecological sign growth and to understand multiculturalism along the same lines. As such, it brings together the life and social sciences and the humanities in a unified perspective, in an approach fitting postmodernism.

Annotation: Our relationship with "other" animals is not only becoming socially ever more significant, it has also been rediscovered as a topic for the humanities and sciences. This volume is the first encyclopedia to devote itself comprehensively to the relationship between humans and animals. In contrast to traditional introductions into animal ethics, the large-scale work does not limit itself to issues of moral philosophy but also explores the human-animal relationship from a historical, sociological, ethological and cultural perspective

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.
