The Semiotic Network of Paracelsus and the Worlds of the Living

The Anthropocene epoch, which we have been in since the middle of the 20th cen­tury, pushes us towards a kind of organology (Yuk Hui), a concept that allows us to describe the world or reality, eliminating the contradiction between organic and mechanistic approaches, allowing them to complement each other. This, in turn, is what makes it possible to talk to Paracelsus as one of his contempo­raries. In the article, the author examines the worlds and sign systems of the Ger­man scientist Theophrastus von Hohenheim, Paracelsus, whose observations of the world and interpretations of phenomena in nature greatly influenced the formation of Modern science. This study is not exhaustive, on the contrary, it only lifts the veil of the beauty of the connectivity of worlds and invites re­searchers to further research.

Abstract

The Anthropocene epoch, which we have been in since the middle of the 20th cen­tury, pushes us towards a kind of organology (Yuk Hui), a concept that allows us to describe the world or reality, eliminating the contradiction between organic and mechanistic approaches, allowing them to complement each other. This, in turn, is what makes it possible to talk to Paracelsus as one of his contempo­raries. In the article, the author examines the worlds and sign systems of the Ger­man scientist Theophrastus von Hohenheim, Paracelsus, whose observations of the world and interpretations of phenomena in nature greatly influenced the formation of Modern science. This study is not exhaustive, on the contrary, it only lifts the veil of the beauty of the connectivity of worlds and invites re­searchers to further research.
