The paper suggests the abductive theory of meaning as a project based on the theory of abduction (Ch. S. Peirce), pragmatics (P. Grice) and normative inferentialism (R. Brandom). The proposed theory addresses the problem of emergence of new meanings, dynamics of meaning, and development of capacity to understand meaning. In place of question of nature of meaning abductive theory of meaning offers the model of meaning transfer with special attention to commitments of speakers and hearers.

Abductive conclusions are drawn in a special, co-hortative mood (Peirce’s ‘investigand’). Abductive conclusions are representative interpretants that represent abduction (or retroduction) as a form of reasoning that can convey a general conception of the truth. The truth is not asserted; abduction merely delivers the idea of a matter of course, rendering that idea comparatively simple ...

The background target of the research going into the present article is to forge an intellectual alliance between, on the one hand, active inference and the free-energy principle (FEP), and on the other, Charles S. Peirce’s theory of semiotics and pragmatism. In the present paper, the focus is on the allegiance between the nomenclatures of active and abductive inferences ...

Междисциплинарный синтез трех формально не связанных друг с другом дисциплин, имеющих на самом деле глубокую внутреннюю связь: теология говорит о Боге, философия говорит о смыслах, а эстетика – о конкретном воплощении их в символах и знаках. Одним из ключевых символов всей иудео-христианской европейской культуры является символ Эдема: топос Бога и Первочеловека, родина смыслов, онтологический корень ...

This paper discusses design process as a creative activity along with conceptual correlations of the semiotics developed by Charles Sanders Peirce. The central aim of this paper is to examine one of the most important concepts in Peirce’s theory related to design praxis: the concept of abduction. Abduction is the driving force behind creation and ...

Arguments from knowability have largely been concerned with cases for and against realism, or truth as an epistemic vs. non-epistemic concept. This article proposes bringing Peirce’s pragmaticism, called here ‘action-first’ epistemology, to bear on the issue. It is shown that a notion weaker than knowability, namely conjecturability, is epistemologically a better-suited notion to describe an essential ...

Anticipation operates under abductive modes of reasoning. Anticipatory abduction is normative and appeals to principles of the economy of research. As a defeasible mode of reasoning, abduction copes with fundamental uncertainty of the future in rational, logical and anticipatory manners. Abduction arises from the mind's ability to perceive logical and counterfactual relationships. This perceptual experience (i) happens on an interval, (ii) is linked to the ...

It has been an object of ongoing linguistic research to investigate the mechanisms of ‘generating’ words and word combinations in real speech, and define their semantic status as lexico-grammatical units of language-as-a-system. The article encourages the reader to look at the outlined problem from the bio-socio-cultural perspective on language as a domain of cognitive (biological ...

In this article, we discuss the pragmatic relationship between semiosis and communication in order to characterize transmedia dynamics as a pragmatic offshoot of semiosis in media, a perspective that accounts for the incompleteness of the interpretant in its meditated actions. The theoretical approach is based on the communication perspective of the sign developed by Charles ...

What sort of justification can be claimed for abduction? In this paper we reconstruct Peirce's answer to this question. We show that in his early works on the logic of science Peirce provided an abductive justification of abduction, and that in his mature writings the early solution is enriched by a reference to the place ...

The concept of “Umwelt” coined in science by Jakob von Uexküll is under consideration in the article. Umwelt is specific environment to which every biological individual is adapted and which is constructed by it. Being one of pillars of biosemiotics, this notion demonstrates its methodological force for the development of the modern, non-classical epistemology. According ...

The paper deals with the so-called “golden triangle” of constitutive connections between meaning, reason, and modality. This classical triangle has been critically reassessed in contemporary analytical philosophy, but some forms of it still seem to be indispensible in studies of consciousness and AI. A lot of to-date anti-reductionist arguments are based on subtle nuances of ...
