That language is essential to the human nature has never been doubted. However, nowadays it becomes more and more obvious that language is not enough to characterize our destinations, because the relationship between nature and society seem essential when reflecting on the development or destination of humanity. Starting from the belief that semiotics provides the basis of a new conceptualization and understanding of humanity in its relations to nature as well as within the context of social history this paper tries to introduce some related semiotic concepts and provide basic orientations for further research in the philosophy of science as well as cognitive theory.

SHORT COURSE of GENERAL SEMIOTICS, 2022

My first book on semiotics was published in Moscow in 1992; it was called "Language as a Sign System". After that, I wrote and published many books and articles, trying to understand the intricacies of semiotics and highlight its main characteristics. Over time, some of my views have undergone metamorphoses, and I have adjusted my earlier statements to express new formulations. Now, on the threshold of my 95th birthday, I want to sum up my vacillations and doubts in a short concluding essay, which seems to me worthy of attention. Whether this is really so, is for the readers to judge. I want to say a few words about what general semiotics means. De facto, semiotics originated in ancient Greece and Rome − no science or craft can exist without its own signs. But only at the end of the 19th century did a movement arise for the creation of semiotics that would formulate general principles for all branches of this science. In contrast to particular semiotics, such science can be called general semiotics.
