On će ukratko izložiti teze svog rada:
Logic of Life and/or Logic of Society? But, what is Logic!
It seems that many of the aspects of human societies are structured
to enhance reproductive success (Petrinovich). In order to understand
the nature of images, we need to know what life is. Sebeok sharply
distinguishes life as an arena of semioses from non-life, as
well as human semioses from non-human semiosis (Kull). In the
specific sphere of anthroposemiosis, the being as human being
is not only a living being, but a historical-social being. In
social reproduction, the coincidence of communication and being
is superseded in so far as it is a question of the semiotic
being, the one who is capable of valuating the relations (Ponzio).
Culture is created by the communal mind and each mind in turn
is the product of the genetically structured human brain. The
cultural differences are primarily result of divergence in history
and environment, and are not genetic in origin (Wilson). The
whole fabric of living things is not put together by logic.
When you get circular trains of causation, the use of logic
will make you walk into paradoxes. The cybernetic equivalent
of logic is oscillations. The central aspect of the emerging
new paradigm is the shift from objects to relationships. Biological
form is put together of relations and not of parts. This is
also how people think. It is the only way in which we can think
(Bateson/Capra).
