Semioethic Horizons: Humanism of Alterity and Semiotics of technology
摘要
We discuss the concept of humanism in semioethics, as reflected in Petrilli’s and Ponzio’s recent paper, which clarifies how their approach is positioned vis-à-vis biosemiotics and global semiotics. To do so, we reflect on how Petrilli and Ponzio explicate the view on technology implicit to semioethics, opening new research avenues for semiotics. We explain why and how semioethics can empower biosemiotics to contribute to current debates in philosophy of technology, a thriving research area which semiotics has tended to ignore, so far.
