In his 'Letter on Humanism' of 1947, Heidegger declared that the
subject/object opposition and the terminology that accrues to it
had still not been properly addressed in the history of philosophy,
and he awaited a proper disquisition that resolved the problem. To
date, that has not been provided. This volume explains and solves
the prevailing problems in the subjectivity/objectivity couplet, in
the process making an indispensable contribution both to semiotics
and to philosophy. This book shows that what is thought to be
'objective' in the commonplace use of the term is demonstrably
different from what objectivity entails when it is revealed by
semiotic analysis. It demonstrates in its exegesis of the
'objective' that human existence is frequently governed by examples
of a 'purely objective reality' - a fiction which nevertheless
perfuses, is perfused by, and guides experience. The ontology of
the sign can be mind-dependent or mind-independent, just as the
status of relation can be as legitimate on its own terms whether it
is found in ens rationis or in ens reale. The difference in the
awareness of human animals consists in this very contextualization
that Deely's writings in general have made so evident: the ability
to identify signs as sign relations, and the ability to enact
relations on a mind-dependent basis. Purely Objective Reality
offers the first sustained and theoretically consistent
interrogation of the means by which human understanding of
'reality' will be instrumental in the survival - or destruction -
of planet Earth.
