Title: | Semiotic Beings: the Realm of a Single Kind? | Authors: | Junqueira, Robert Martins | Keywords: | Awareness; Evolution; Humans; Machines; Semiotics | Issue Date: | Dec-2021 | Publisher: | Gam-nou (New Step) Publishing and Iranian Society for Phenomenology (ISP) | Serial title, monograph or event: | Iranian Yearbook of Phenomenology | Volume: | 2 | Abstract: | Our research pays attention to the problem of the coverage of the realm of semiotic beings. This problem is raised by the meeting between the contemporary account of the human animal as a semiotic animal and the possible advent of a technological singularity, meaning a living technological being aware of semiosis. Apart from highlighting the prospective emergence of a complex phenomenon leading to evolutionary pressures on humans, we also pointed to a positive direction toward developing a cooperative relationship between the latter and a sustainable form of technological life: the furtherance of semiotics. To this end, we started by providing a few historical and philosophical references to help us better understand the problem at stake. Next, we described how beings gain semiotic access to reality, the distinction between the realm of semiotic beings and of machines, and the infinite character of the study of semiotics. Finally, we concluded that the realm of semiotic beings is still, despite technological advances, exclusively human. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/113717 | DOI: | 10.22034/IYP.2021.245803 | Rights: | openAccess |
