The main theme of the article, which by genre falls into the area of semiotically influenced philosophy, is a reflection on the relationship between the human and the non-human, using two partial but parallel discourses. The first discourse is the perspective of general semiotics, which is defined in the article on the basis of two distinct forms of rationality that, in different guises, still intervene in debates about the nature of the humanities and social sciences today. The first form of this rationality is semiological, which can be classified under the encyclopaedic rubric of structuralism, and which has its main source of inspiration in general linguistics and its continuation in philosophical anti-humanism. The second perspective has its origins in Peirce’s logicist theory of the sign and his pragmatist metaphysics, and opens up thinking about the sign, the human, and the non-human to a non-language-centric view of the world. Despite their demonstrable theoretical and methodological incompatibility, the present text treats them as incompatible but largely complementary perspectives. It is in their mutual exposition that one can see the moments in which the view of modern human as a semiological and semiotic animal takes shape. The text brings this fundamental and founding theoretical schism into focus by examining two images from post/modern art: Ted Chiang’s “The Great Silence” and Jorge Luis Borges’ “Averroës’s Search.”

结构性人类与符号学动物：骄傲与羞辱之间

这篇文章的主题从类型上属于受符号学影响的哲学领域，是使用两个部分但平行的话语来反思人类与非人类之间的关系。第一个论述是一般符号学的视角，本文在两种不同的理性形式的基础上定义了一般符号学的视角，这两种形式的理性仍然以不同的形式介入到当今关于人文社会科学本质的争论中。这种理性的第一种形式是符号学的，它可以归入结构主义的百科全书式标题之下，它的主要灵感来源是普通语言学，并在哲学反人文主义中得到延续。第二种视角起源于皮尔士的逻辑主义符号理论和实用主义形而上学，它开启了对符号、人类和非人类的思考，走向一种非语言中心的世界观。尽管它们在理论和方法上明显不相容，但本文将它们视为不相容但在很大程度上是互补的观点。正是在他们的相互阐述中，人们可以看到现代人类作为符号学和符号学动物的观点形成的时刻。文本通过研究后/现代艺术中的两个图像：特德·蒋的“伟大的沉默”和豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯的“阿威罗埃的搜索”，将这种基本的和基础性的理论分裂作为焦点。
