Nam T. Nguyen's Nature's Primal Self: Peirce, Jaspers, and Corrington PDF

By Nam T. Nguyen

Nature’s Primal Self examines Corrington’s concept, referred to as “ecstatic naturalism,” in juxtaposition to either C. S. Peirce’s pragmatic and semiotic notion of the self and Karl Jaspers’ existential elucidation of Existenz. Peirce’s and Jaspers’ anthropocentrism is hence corrected by way of Corrington’s ecstatic naturalism. Ecstatic naturalism, as a brand new stream, is either a semiotic theoretical procedure and a metaphysics that probes deeply into the ontological divide among nature naturing and nature natured. writer Nam T. Nguyen makes an attempt to accomplish 3 objectives: first, to offer and elucidate the underlying philosophical options of Charles Peirce, Karl Jaspers, and Robert Corrington; moment, to critique the anthropocentric self of Peirce’s semiotic pragmatism and of Jaspers’ existential anthropology (periechontology) from the point of view of ecstatic naturalism; and 3rd, to introduce the concept that of nature’s primal self, greatly grounded within the point of view of ecstatic naturalism, as a really appropriate, extra encompassing, and richer framework in comparison to Peirce’s semiotic building of the self and Jaspers’ existential idea of Existenz.
