purelY obJectiVe
realitY
This volume solves the problem of the subjectivity/
objectivity couplet, making an indispensable contribution
both to semiotics and to philosophy. Foremost
American philosopher, John Deely, offers the first
sustained and theoretically consistent interrogation
of the means by which human understanding of
‘reality’ will be instrumental in the survival – or
destruction – of planet Earth.

entangling Forms
within semiosic processes
The volume draws from Charles S. Peirce’s pragmatic
philosophy, contemporary arts and sciences,
and Buddhist philosophy in developing the concepts
of interconnectedness, self-organization, and coparticipation
of the knowing subject with respect to
contradictory, complementary coalescence. Contradictions
can be complementarily, although vaguely
and ambiguously, resolved by mediation through
coalescent processes, which place Peirce’s notion of
semiosis in a contemporary, interdisciplinary context.

context-dependence,
perspectiVe
and relatiVitY
in language and
thought
This volume brings together original papers by
linguists and philosophers on the role of context
and perspective in language and thought. Several
contributions are concerned with the contextualism/
relativism debate, which has loomed large in recent
philosophical discussions. In a substantial introduction,
the editors survey the field and map out the
relevant issues and positions.
