Abstract
Semioepistemology is a “cross-breeding science” creating new territories of knowledge, characterized by an underlying intrinsicity between disciplines traditionally considered separate; alongside the Bachelardian one, it expresses a “duality”: a “one made up of two”, where neither of the two halves can be separated from the other because each one draws its value from the other. In Bachelardian epistemology, duality arises from the dissolution of the compactness and uniqueness of substance under the impulse of “not”, which plays a pivotal role, thus initiating a de-ontologization of knowledge. The substance becomes a field of relations and is dynamized, which is in line with what had happened with Ferdinand de Saussure, Cassirer and, subsequently, with Louis Hjelmslev’s glossematics. In addition, a reflection on scientific language, or better said, a metasemiotic of scientific knowledge is intrinsic to Bachelardian epistemology. Critical referentia lism presupposes a “sur-semioticization” immanent in a “sur-objectification”. Bachelard’s semioepistemology is proposed as an integrated epistemology.
