Dear John and Loet
If you agree that the split between mind and the world is phoney and that both radical
constructivism, eliminative materialism and dualism does not work. Neither does it to work with
completely empty ontologies as Luhmann does. Then where are we? We need transdisciplinary
philosophies that do not take mind and matter apart. This is why I try to combine Luhmann and
Peirce. It is not easy, so I am open for all who wants to contribute to such a cybersemiotic
project. Unfortunately it is very difficult to obtain money for such abstract projects presently.
Cheers
Søren

Dear John,
Let me take my second shot this week. Of course, I cannot deny that we need the body, but which
senses we need for reading "nature" depends very much on whether we consider
"reality" as a construction in the discourse or as something we have unmediated access to
because of our body. As someone voiced it to me in an offline email: '"Nature" is our
conceptual tool for confronting The World.' John Casti used the concept of a tangential approach for
studying "alternate realities"; Niklas Luhmann used the concept of "a reality that
remains unknown" when we construct it.
I agree that it is a bit a sideline in this discussion.
With best wishes, Loet
