Nature's Primal Self - Peirce, Jaspers, and Corrington (Hardcover, New)

This book is the examination of Corrington s thought called ecstatic naturalism in juxtaposition to C. S. Peirce s pragmatic and semiotic concept of the self and Karl Jaspers existential elucidation of Existenz. Peirce s and Jaspers anthropocentrism is corrected by Corrington s ecstatic naturalism. Ecstatic naturalism, as a new movement, is both a semiotic theoretical method and a metaphysics that probes deeply into the ontological divide between nature naturing and nature natured. Methodologically, ecstatic naturalism relies on two methods; namely, horizontal hermeneutics and ordinal phenomenology, which are applied to critique Peirce s and Jaspers anthropocentric concepts of the self. This book attempts to achieve three goals: first, to present and elucidate the underlying philosophical concepts of Charles Peirce, Karl Jaspers, and Robert Corrington; second, to critique the anthropocentric self of Peirce s semiotic pragmatism and of Jaspers existential anthropology (periechontology) from the standpoint of ecstatic naturalism; and third, to introduce the concept of nature s primal self, radically grounded in the perspective of ecstatic naturalism, as a judicious, more encompassing, and richer framework compared to Peirce s semiotic construction of the self and Jaspers existential concept of Existenz.
