Abstract:

My focus is on indexicality is the basic relational structure that connects the different contexts of reality in time, in place, in cause, and in person. Ontologically the different contexts of reality are the physical, the mental, the symbolic and the institutional one, which cannot become reduced to each other. The relational indexical instants generate the dynamic indexical structure over time. Human beings might instantiate their existentialistic creative self, self-awareness and self-reflexivity. The semantic content of the symbolic reality – no matter what kind of language is used: formal or natural languages, mathematics, music, forms and lines – is its corresponding outer-symbolic physical, mental or institutional reality. Otherwise there is not any content at all, language is empty.

This is the approach to the complex reality from philosophy of mind and philosophy of language that provides the scientific paradigm of transdisciplinarity ontologically and pragmatically with a consequent realistic bedrock.

I intend to give a comprehensive introduction to this highly difficult topic.
