Summary

This book is the examination of Corrington'¬"s thought called '¬Secstatic naturalism '¬S in juxtaposition to C. S. Peirce'¬"s pragmatic and semiotic concept of the self and Karl Jaspers'¬" existential elucidation of Existenz. Peirce'¬"s and Jaspers'¬" anthropocentrism is corrected by Corrington'¬"s ecstatic naturalism. Ecstatic naturalism, as a new movement, is both a semiotic theoretical method and a metaphysics that probes deeply into the ontological divide between nature naturing and nature natured. Methodologically, ecstatic naturalism relies on two methods; namely, '¬Shorizontal hermeneutics'¬ and '¬Sordinal phenomenology,'¬ which are applied to critique Peirce'¬"s and Jaspers'¬" anthropocentric concepts of the self. This book attempts to achieve three goals: first, to present and elucidate the underlying philosophical concepts of Charles Peirce, Karl Jaspers, and Robert Corrington; second, to critique the anthropocentric self of Peirce'¬"s semiotic pragmatism and of Jaspers'¬" existential anthropology (periechontology) from the standpoint of ecstatic naturalism; and third, to introduce the concept of nature'¬"s primal self, radically grounded in the perspective of ecstatic naturalism, as a judicious, more encompassing, and richer framework compared to Peirce'¬"s semiotic construction of the self and Jaspers'¬" existential concept of Existenz.
