摘要

摘要本文主要探讨客观性与主观性的共同演化,以及二者的分离与联系。第2节从主观角度探讨意义的本质。首先,我考察了单细胞生物与其环境之间存在的有意义的接触。在这方面,我关注的是物理质的生化同化的本体论重要性,而不是形式和功能的进化。在第3节中,我扩大了讨论范围,包括多细胞生物,并介绍了意义在不同层次上限定了世界的不同客观和信息结构的观点。这些决定了互动参与的特征,并揭示了主体表示外部事物的方式。在第4节中,我从存在自我的立场来回顾达尔文的进化论。我要强调的是,意义是限定人类客观性概念的东西,而不是客观性是帮助人类限定或理解意义的东西。最终,这种观点挑战了那些倾向于模糊意义相关性的科学学科,而不是寻求从认识论的基础上解释它。在其总体范围内,我试图建立这样一种观点,即主观和客观领域在本体论上更加微妙、分层和交织,而不是在两者之间呈现二元并列的默认立场。

Meaning and the evolution of signification and objectivity
Abstract The coevolution of objectivity and subjectivity and the nature of both their division and connection are central to this paper. Section 2 addresses the nature of meaning from the subjective perspective. Initially, I examine the meaningful engagement that exists between the unicellular organism and its environment. In this respect, I focus on the ontological importance of the qualitative biochemical assimilation of the physical rather than on the evolution of form and function. In Section 3, I broaden the discussion to include multicellular organisms and introduce the idea that meaning, at various levels, qualifies different objective and informational constructs of the world. These determine the character of interactive engagement and reveal much about the way in which an agent signifies the external. In Section 4, I review Darwinian evolution from the position of the existential self. I emphasize that meaning is that which qualifies the human concept of objectivity, rather than that objectivity is that which will help humankind qualify or understand meaning. Ultimately, this outlook challenges scientific disciplines that have tended to obscure the relevance of meaning and sought, instead, to explain it from an epistemological footing. In its overall scope, I try to establish the view that the subjective and objective domains are more nuanced, layered, and intertwined ontologically than the default stance that presents a binary juxtaposition between the two.

期刊介绍: Semiotica, the Journal of the International Association for Semiotic Studies, founded in 1969, appears in five volumes of four issues per year, in two languages (English and French), and occasionally in German. Semiotica features articles reporting results of research in all branches of semiotic studies, in-depth reviews of selected current literature in this field, and occasional guest editorials and reports. From time to time, Special Issues, devoted to topics of particular interest, are assembled by Guest Editors. The publishers of Semiotica offer an annual prize, the Mouton d"Or, to the author of the best article each year. The article is selected by an independent international jury.
