商品描述
Jean Petitot is a polyhedric thinker whose contributions has been fundamental in a number of disciplines, such as epistemology, morphodynamics, differential geometry, structural semiotics, neurogeometry, phenomenology, linguistics, cognitive grammars, the theory of catastrophes, social sciences, literary studies, and aesthetics. This book is a homage to his huge contribution about the main concepts of morphogenesis and meaning that constitute the center of gravity around which Petitotian reflection revolves and returns.
The scientific path of Jean Petitot develops between these two poles, topology and meaning. At stake it was to challenge the hiatus separating the exact sciences from the humanities that was the main point of the Petitot seminar of EHESS Epistemology of Models. By designing the appropriate qualitative dynamics between the two poles, form and meaning, it is possible to understand the Saussurian sign in structural semiotics, or the Greimasian semiotic square fordeep narrative structures or even the canonical formula of the myth of Lévi Strauss in structural anthropology. These are just few results in applying the theory of catastrophes to the emergence of meaning. The book is a collection of testimonies by distinguished authors who worked extensively with Jean Petitot in the different fields of Mathematics, Neurogeometry, Semiotics, Aesthetics, and Epistemology.
An extensive bibliography of Petitot's work is also presented.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
Jean Petitot是一位多面向思想家，他的貢獻對於多個學科至關重要，包括認識論、形態動力學、微分幾何學、結構符號學、神經幾何學、現象學、語言學、認知語法、災變理論、社會科學、文學研究和美學。本書是對他在形態生成和意義主要概念方面的巨大貢獻的致敬，這些概念構成了Petitotian反思的重心和回歸點。
Jean Petitot的科學道路在拓撲學和意義之間發展。挑戰的焦點是要克服將精確科學與人文學科分開的鴻溝，這是Petitot在EHESS模型認識論研討會上的主要議題。通過設計適當的定性動力學，將形式和意義兩極結合起來，我們可以理解結構符號學中的索緒爾符號、格雷馬斯的語義方塊以及列維-史特勞斯結構人類學中的神話規範公式。這些只是將災變理論應用於意義出現的一些結果。本書是一本由著名作者撰寫的見證集，他們在數學、神經幾何學、符號學、美學和認識論的不同領域與Jean Petitot廣泛合作。
書中還附有Jean Petitot的廣泛著作目錄。
