Listening is encounter,going towards the other,hospitality,responsiveness not as initiative by the person responding,responsibility without alibis.Human semiosis is characterized by metasemiosis:the capacity to reflect on signs,to suspend responses and deliberate,beyond immediate semiosis undistinguished from the response to it. Human semiosis is characterized by metasemiosis:the capacity to reflect on signs,to suspend responses and deliberate.This capacity involves an inescapable responsibility from the human animal towards life over the whole planet.Susan Petrilli’s book begins with a question,in the title of the first chapter,concerning the relation between "Semiosis and Life":What lies in their future? Her response:our present is the future perfect of semiotics.The problem is not simply of the theoretical order,given that semiotics is also implicated as semeiotics,as symtomatology.The relation between semiotics and the question of the health of life at the planetary level is not only of the historical order,ensuing from the connection of semiotics today with medical semeiotics,symptomatology,beginning with Hippocrates and Galen.The human being as a "semiotic animal"is the only animal responsible for semiosis,for life,even more so the professional scholar of signs.展开更多
