Dream of the future... and you will experience the metamorphoses at the borders of what is real and what is other than real. This event is part of the activities of the 2022 International Open Seminar on Semiotics: a Tribute to John Deely on the Fifth Anniversary of His Passing, cooperatively organized by the Institute for Philosophical Studies of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra, the Lyceum Institute, the Deely Project, Saint Vincent College, the Iranian Society for Phenomenology at the Iranian Political Science Association, the International Association for Semiotics of Space and Time, the Institute for Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Semiotic Society of America, the American Maritain Association, the International Association for Semiotic Studies, the International Society for Biosemiotic Studies, the International Center for Semiotics and Intercultural Dialogue, Moscow State Academic University for the Humanities and the Mansarda Acesa with the support of the FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P., of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education of the Government of Portugal under the UID/FIL/00010/2020 project. *** Kermit Snelson is a software architect and computer scientist. His early work on commercial applications of semantic networks in spatial databases, classical music metadata and digital identity led him to discover John F. Sowa’s work on the existential graphs of Charles Sanders Peirce, an interest which has since evolved into a general research program focused on an emerging programming paradigm called subject-orientation. This in turn has led him to the study of foundational issues in the science of logic and therefore to the study of related work by Gotthard Günther, Stéphane Lupasco, George Spencer-Brown, William Stephenson, Jaakko Hintikka, Raymond Ruyer, Raymond Abellio and Alexander Zinoviev, along with currently emerging fields such as universal logic and oppositional geometry. This technical research has recently taken a historical turn, developing the hypothesis that the logical conception of the subject is the key to understanding semiotics as “a matrix for all the sciences” (Deely) and consequently as a descendant of earlier cosmological schemes such as Goethe’s morphology. In a recently published journal article, he demonstrated the affinity between Peirce’s evolutionary cosmology and contemporary “organic memory” theories prevalent within the organized Monist movement which published much of Peirce’s late work. Snelson holds a degree in Economics from the University of Chicago and studied closely with that institution’s John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought. *** Homepage: https://www.uc.pt/fluc/uidief/act/io2s Auditorium: https://www.uc.pt/fluc/uidief/act/io2s/auditorium *** The official graphic designer of the IO2S DEELY is Zahra Soltani Tehrani.

Seize this chance... and you will soon be on your way to retracing the genius of the pathfinder of semiotics. This event, commented by Donna E. West (State University of New York at Cortland) and chaired by William Passarini (Mansarda Acesa), is part of the activities of the 2022 International Open Seminar on Semiotics: a Tribute to John Deely on the Fifth Anniversary of His Passing, cooperatively organized by the Institute for Philosophical Studies of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra, the Lyceum Institute, the Deely Project, Saint Vincent College, the Iranian Society for Phenomenology at the Iranian Political Science Association, the International Association for Semiotics of Space and Time, the Institute for Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Semiotic Society of America, the American Maritain Association, the International Association for Semiotic Studies, the International Society for Biosemiotic Studies, the International Center for Semiotics and Intercultural Dialogue, Moscow State Academic University for the Humanities and the Mansarda Acesa with the support of the FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P., of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education of the Government of Portugal under the UID/FIL/00010/2020 project. *** Tullio Viola is an assistant professor in Philosophy of art and culture at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. He has a doctorate in philosophy from the Humboldt University in Berlin, and before joining Maastricht University he held post-doc positions in Berlin and Erfurt. He has published mainly on Peirce, north-American pragmatism, and its links to European philosophy. His book, Peirce on the Uses of History, has come out with De Gruyter in 2020. *** Donna West (PhD, Cornell University) is Professor of Linguistics at the State University of New York, Cortland. For nearly forty years she has presented and published internationally (70 plus articles/chapters) on Peirce’s semiotic. She currently serves on the Board of the International Association for Cognitive Semiotics, as well as on several editorial boards. Her 2013 book, Deictic Imaginings: Semiosis at Work and at Play, investigates the ontogeny of indexical signs. Her 2016 edited volume on Peirce’s concept of habit offers a fresh, global perspective (scholars from twelve nations). She is likewise editing the “Mathematics and Cognition” section for the Handbook on Cognitive Mathematics (2021)—her own contribution explores the formidable role of chunking in abductive rationality. Following the 2021 publication of two guest-edited journal issues on Peirce and consciousness (Cognitive Semiotics, Semiotica), her forthcoming book presents retrospective narratives as the scaffold toward Peirce’s retroductive logic. *** Homepage: https://www.uc.pt/fluc/uidief/io2s Auditorium: https://www.uc.pt/fluc/uidief/io2s/auditorium *** Technical support assured by Robert Junqueira.
