Prof Frederik Stjernfelt from Aalborg University at Copenhagen, Denmark will be presenting on “Entangled Roots of Semiotics and Phenomenology: Peirce and Husserl on Realism, Intuition, and Abstraction”. This talk compares approaches of related issues such as realism, signs, intuitive contents, abstraction, diagrams, and the objects of experience, and is part of a broader project to develop realist, phenomenological semiotics relevant to contemporary discussions. Prof Stjernfelt is a Professor at the Department of Communication and Psychology in Aalborg University. His research interests include cognitive semiotics, philosophy of science, the history of ideas, biosemiotics and political philosophy. We encourage the USP community to attend.
