In recent articles in this journal I have discussed why a traditional physicalist and mechanist, as well as an info-computationalist, view of science cannot fulfil the goal of building a transdisciplinary science across Snow's two cultures. There seems to be no path proceeding from mechanistic physicalism to views that encompass phenomenological theories of experiential consciousness and meaning-based cognition and communication. I have suggested, as an alternative, the Cybersemiotic framework's integration of Peirce's semiotics and Luhmann's autopoietic system theory. The present article considers in greater depth the ontological developments necessary to make this possible. It shows how Peirce avoids materialism and German idealism through his building on a concept of emptiness similar to modern quantum field theory, positing an indeterminist objective chance feeding into an evolutionary philosophy of knowing based on pure mathematics and phenomenology that is itself combined with empirically executed fallibilism. Furthermore, he created a new metaphysics in the form of a philosophical synechist triadic process philosophy. This was integrated into the transcendentalist view of process view of science and spirituality developed from Western Unitarianism by Emerson (agapism), and featuring a metaphysics of emptiness and spontaneity (tychism) that are also essential for the Eastern philosophies of Buddhism and Vedanta.
在本期刊最近的文章中，我探讨了为何传统的物理主义、机械主义以及信息计算主义的科学观无法实现跨越斯诺所说的两种文化构建跨学科科学的目标。从机械物理主义似乎找不到通向包含体验意识现象学理论以及基于意义的认知与交流的观点的路径。作为替代方案，我提出了将皮尔斯符号学与卢曼自创生系统理论整合的网络符号学框架。本文更深入地探讨了实现这一目标所需的本体论发展。它展示了皮尔斯如何通过基于类似于现代量子场论的空性概念来避免唯物主义和德国唯心主义，提出一种非决定论的客观机遇，这种机遇融入了基于纯数学和现象学的进化认知哲学，而这种哲学本身又与经验性的可错论相结合。此外，他以哲学连续主义三元过程哲学的形式创造了一种新的形而上学。这被整合进了由爱默生（博爱主义）从西方唯一神论发展而来的科学与灵性的先验主义过程观中，其特点是具有空性和自发性（偶然主义）的形而上学，这对于佛教和吠檀多等东方哲学也至关重要。
