En las últimas décadas, cuestiones relativas especialmente al cuerpo humano, pero también a los cuerpos no humanos, se han convertido en uno de grandes temas la cultura. El cuerpo, durante algún tiempo, bajo el dominio ciencia y medicina, convirtió objeto reflexiones filósofos, psicoanalistas, estudiosos cultura y, sobre todo, obra artistas. Este artículo parte un recorrido por esta nueva condi...

Cet article s’empare des réflexions récentes sur le design pour suggérer que la ‘cellule créatrice’ celles-ci thématisent est au fond parangon de tout jugement en environnement incertain. L’autopsie d’une prise décision un marché financier illustre cette affirmation. Mais plus largement, période ‘gros temps’ où diverses conceptions science sont conflit, cellule créatrice à l’image humble et non...

This paper aims to enhance the practical applicability of relational grammars, which have been devised for the semantic analysis of natural language. We focus on their application in knowledge representation. In particular, we address how the representation problem for kl-one-based knowledge representation systems can be automatically solved with the help of relational grammars. New rules are p...

Nowadays, Peirce is mostly recognized as the founder of pragmatism and for his extensive theory of signs. Interestingly, in contrast to the contemporary estimation of his work, Peirce himself considered his system of existential graphs as the ‘luckiest find of my career’. This paper aims to clarify why Peirce placed his existential graphs into the very heart of his philosophy. Moreover, the des...

The Peirce quincuncial projection is a mapping of the surface of a sphere to the interior of a square. It is a conformal mapping except for four points on the equator. These points of non-conformality cause significant artifacts in photographic applications. In this paper, we propose an algorithm and userinterface to mitigate these artifacts. Moreover, in order to facilitate an interactive user...

Peirce grammar provides a first-order, relational semantics for extensional fragments of natural language. Proposals in the literature to model natural language coordination by boolean operations in Peirce grammar lead to inadaequate results. We propose to equip Peirce grammar with an additional sort of finite trees and to admit recursion on trees for defining the evaluation of expressions. We ...

Robert Burch has, in A Peircean Reduction Thesis, made a major contribution to communication between what could be called Peircean logic and the more “traditional” approach based on the work of Frege, Peano, and Russell; we may call this the FPR approach. And in so contributing, he helps bridge gaps in understanding which may stand between those focusing on the semiotic, and those more committe...
