"CYBERSEMIOTICS
Why Information Is Not Enough
Søren Brier
A growing field of inquiry, biosemiotics is a theory of cognition and
communication that unites the living and the cultural world. What is
missing from this theory, however, is the unification of the information
and computational realms of the non-living natural and technical world.
Cybersemiotics provides such a framework. By integrating cybernetic
information theory into the unique semiotic framework of C. S. Peirce,
Søren Brier attempts to find a unified conceptual frame work encompassing
the complex area of information, cognition, and communication science. The
integration is performed through Niklas Luhmann’s autopoietic systems
theory of social communication. The link between cybernetics and semiotics
is further an ethological and evolutionary theory of embodiment combined
with Lakoff and Johnson’s ‘philosophy in the flesh.’ This demands the
development of a transdisciplinary philosophy of knowledge: as common
sense as well as it is cultured in the humanities and the sciences. Such
an epistemological and ontological frame work is also developed in the
book.

Cybersemiotics not only builds a bridge between science and culture, but
it also provides at framework encompassing them both. The Cyber-semiotic
framework offers a platform for a new level of global dialogue between
knowledge systems including a view of science that does not compete with
religion but offers the possibility for mutual and fruitful exchange.

Søren Brier is an associate professor in the Philosophy Unit of the
Department for Management, Politics, and Philosophy at the Copenhagen
Business School.

as well as the newly formed International Journal of INternet Science... which I also recieved an email about.
I mean, actually, at this very moment I don't even see the point in studying this stuff... it will change too rapidly. To me it seems that one needs as much time and concentration just to absorb it and realise what is actualy happening... and by then end of that day every day the mind is erschöpft, Perhaps this will all level-out after they develop something more effective and just as legal as coffee to supercharge the human mind and truly make it able to deal with such a bulk of fast information... or not-.. Heck,... no idea.
