From Semiotics towards Philosophical Metaphysics
Author: Abraham Solomonick

Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Release Date: 2017-05-11
This book introduces new approaches to semiotics and metaphysical philosophy, innovations that show how mature semiotics naturally leads to new vistas in philosophical thinking. It also demonstrates how researchers change their initial formulations over the course of their research, arriving at fresh results that sometimes conflict with their original interpretations. In order to do this, the book gathers together a series of papers by the author composed over the course of more than 30 years of semiotic studies. The ideas presented in these essays lead to conclusions that differ significantly from some currently accepted philosophical views. The volume concludes with a section that presents some practical implementations of these theoretical concepts, related to issues such as the construction of new scientific languages, and introduces a new format for bibliographies that may be more helpful to readers of scientific literature than the standard presentation in use today.
A Semiotic Theory of Theology and Philosophy
Author: Robert S. Corrington
language: en
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 2000-11-09
The concern of this work is with developing an alternative to standard categories in theology and philosophy, especially in terms of how they deal with nature. Avoiding the polemics of much contemporary reflection on nature, it shows how we are connected to nature through the unconscious and its unique way of reading and processing signs. Spinoza's key distinction between natura naturans and natura naturata serves as the governing framework for the treatise. Suggestions are made for a post-Christian way of understanding religion. Robert S. Corrington's work represents the first sustained attempt to bring together the fields of semiotics, depth-psychology, pragmaticism, and a post-Monotheistic theology of nature. Its focus is on how signification functions in human and non-human orders of infinite nature. Our connection with the infinite is described in detail, especially as it relates to the use of sign systems.
Nature in American Philosophy (Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy, Volume 42)
With its focus on philosophy of nature, this book fills a gap in the ongoing reassessment of nineteenth-century American philosophy, and it opens the way to further study of the role played by reflection on nature in the emergence of the American mind.
