He received his Ph.D. from *Kyoto University <https://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en>* in 2018. He is the author of “*A Peircean Revision of the Theory of Extended Mind <https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/25189/18008>”* (*Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia <https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/index>*, v.16, n.1, 2015) etc. and has so far translated into Japanese important works on pragmatism such as *The Pragmatic Maxim <https://ci.nii.ac.jp/ncid/BB27279249>* (by C. Hookway, OUP, 2011), *Perspectives on Pragmatism <https://ci.nii.ac.jp/ncid/BC03476796>* (by R. Brandom, HUP, 2011), and *The American Pragmatists <https://ci.nii.ac.jp/ncid/BB29312210>* (by C. Misak, OUP, 2013). His research interests lie in Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotics and its contemporary applications. Nowadays, Peircean semiotics receives enthusiastic attention from various kinds of scholars such as cultural anthropologists and frontier robotics researchers. His present research project overviews such interdisciplinary discussions as a philosopher and supplements them with an appropriate philosophical context, aiming to increase philosophers’ commitment to them and reveal a contemporary significance of pragmatist thoughts. Dr. Sachi Arafat is an Assistant Professor of Data Science at *KAU - King Abdulaziz University <https://www.kau.edu.sa/home_ENGLISH.aspx>* in Saudi Arabia. His research lay at the intersection of data science and philosophy of science & technology. He previously worked on quantum theory inspired models for characterizing socio-technical behaviour while a *Royal Academy of Engineering* <https://www.raeng.org.uk/> Research Fellow at the *School of Computing Science <https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/computing/>* at the *University of Glasgow <https://www.gla.ac.uk/>* (UK). His monograph *Search Foundations <https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/search-foundations>* (co-authored with E. Ashoori) with *MIT Press <https://mitpress.mit.edu/>* (2019), was nominated for best book in information science (in 2020) by the *Association for Information Science and Technology <https://www.asist.org/>*. Therein was proposed a new kind of science—inspired by the work on Heidegger and the classical philosophical tradition—for re-basing data and information science on rigorous philosophical foundations in order to create an explicitly explanatory science of AI from the ground-up for understanding technology-mediated experience. _ - IO2S DEELY Homepage: https://www.uc.pt/fluc/uidief/act/io2s Auditorium: https://www.uc.pt/fluc/uidief/act/io2s/auditorium This event is part of the 2022 *International Open Seminar on Semiotics: a Tribute to John Deely on the Fifth Anniversary of His Passing,* cooperatively organized by the *Institute for Philosophical Studies of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra*, the *Lyceum Institute,* the *Deely Project*, *Saint Vincent College*, the *Iranian Society for Phenomenology at the Iranian Political Science Association*, the *International Association for Semiotics of Space and Time*, the *Institute for Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences*, the *Semiotic Society of America*, the *American Maritain Association*, the *International Association for Semiotic Studies*, the *International Society for Biosemiotic Studies*, the *International Center for Semiotics and Intercultural Dialogue*, Moscow *State Academic University for the Humanities* and the *Mansarda Acesa* with the support of the *FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P., of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education of the Government of Portugal* under the UID/FIL/00010/2020 project.
