Description of  Knowledge in Change: The Semiotics of Cognition and Conversion (Law and Visual Jurisprudence, 8)

All knowledge is always a matter of change, as this book underlines. All knowledge links You and Me to Reality. This process of positioning cognition has become heavily influenced by conversion. Its cultural background is in this book named the New Plural: a worldview based on combinations of Analog, Digital, AI and Quantum understandings of reality. The New Plural, combined with in-depth observations on the Subject in new forms of knowledge formation, forms the background theme of the book. To understand the Subject as defined in past centuries, like Kants so-called split ego or Voegelins flow, are outlined together with Husserls phenomenology of ego-positions. Today, one encounters the Subject transformed into a Self with other forms that replace the traditional Subject and its position. The dynamics of the Self are therefore broader than any Selfie can picture. What the book calls the Self in digital culture and for what it introduces the name Self-E, is therefore essential for a semiotic observation of all actual patterns and practices of communication.
