Pragmatics beyond cognition: a perspective of Charles Peirce’s unfinished conception for (bio-)semiotics
... Peirce’s latest conception of semiosis is of particular interest. For Peirce, semiosis is an interpretation that doesn't necessitate an external interpreter. A sign is viewed as a quasi-mind, and semiotic processes are carried out by these signs, specifically through the quasi-minds that are embedded within them: a quasi-utterer and a quasi-interpreter. Semiosis can thus be viewed as an ongoing, personalized interaction of structural semiotic entities (quasi-minds). The latest findings in molecular ...

Kaliningrad text through the eyes of a flaneur (Königsberg con text in the text of Kaliningrad)
This paper attempts to conceptualize the city as both text and context—an interpretive construct jointly produced by the urban environment and its inhabitants in their search for self-understanding within a specific place and time. Using the example of the phenomenon of the ‘Petersburg text’ and the emerging ‘Königsberg-Kaliningrad text’, it is shown that these texts play the role of a reflexive form-mirror in culture, helping the city comprehend ...

Meaning of proper names in contexts of attitudes: de re naming and fictions
The author explores the meaning of proper names and other types of singular terms in the context of propositional attitudes, combining the problems of empty names, rigid designators and non-specific reading. An object in the attitudes can be given to the agent as such (de re), in the description (de dicto), as well as in several intermediate ways. From the analysis of the phenomenon of rigid designation, I move on to the theory of the object, where I consider two alternatives — strict, or Leibnizian...
