LANGUAGE MAKES THE BRAIN.

SEMIOLOGAL MIND IN NEURONAL BRAIN

Abstract

This paper seeks to advance theoretical arguments to interpose "semiologal reasons" of human language in the construction and conception of the world, before the "causal explanations" of this construction by the legion of neurons in the human brain, coming from the neurosciences. It begins with reflections on the concept of "semioception" and the implications it may generate, in the current environment of the interfaces between semiotics and phenomenological philosophy, in the face of the concept of "perception", implications that have been inducing a phenomenological turn in semiotic theory in much of the reflection of some researchers. It then raises inevitable confrontations that the concept of semioception is destined to have with the neurosciences, for which the neuronal brain holds the overall command of man's conception of the world - what I call "neuroception" - which currently translates into strong biological naturalistic, materialistic, or neuroscientist pressure that the semiotic field receives, and is asked to discuss, since such neurobiological propositions of the human mind closely touch the emergence and nature of (human) sense, a crucial theme that has been challenging semiotic theory since its origins.
