Val, all, Viewing the normative science of logic and its object, truth, from a sign-relational perspective, the first cut, the deepest, among notions of truth divides those that take the object domain into account in a fundamental way from those that regard truth as a matter to be decided solely on the grounds of the 2-dimensional semiotic or syntactic plane of sign-to-interpretant-sign relations.
At first sight, then, it appears that we can usefully contrast the pragmatic and correspondence notions of truth from the motley crew of intuitions about truth based on coherence, consensus, and truth by logical consistency alone. That is, not incidentally, the perspective that Susan Awbrey and I adopted in our work on “Universities as Learning Organizations” and “Conceptual Barriers to Creating Integrated Universities”, where we applied a sign-relational framework to the problems of integrating knowledge across the walls of the intellectual silos that have come to make up the disciplinary architectures of our modern universities.
