Title | Semioethics, voluntarism and anti-humanism |
Authors | Cobley, P. |
Abstract | Cobley argues that semiotics (over semiology) provides a chance to reconceptualise human affairs in relation to the planet. To do so, he places humans as semiotic entities within the environment of semiosis, thus providing a corrective to voluntarist ethical impulses. Despite this, he suggests, early semioethics has voluntarist pitfalls, requiring anti-humanist refinement. |
