In its last issue, TECCOGS presented a dialogue on issues of Cognitive Semiotics, which Professor Vincent Colapietro, University of Rhode Island (Kingston, RI, USA), contributed to this journal in dialogue with Winfried Nöth. Under the title “Cognitive Semiotics – Minds, and Machines”, he outlined the foundations of Charles Sanders Peirce’s philosophy of mind and its relevance to the study of human and artificial intelligence. TECCOGSs now brings a new dialogue with Colapietro as the first of a series of three “Reflections”, first presented in dialogue with Winfried Nöth on tidd’s YouTube channel under Lucia Santaella’s curatorship. “What is the semiotic self?”, “How can we change habits”, and “Why sentiments can be logical” are the titles of the three Reflections. In this series, Colapietro adds new chapters to extend his introduction to cognitive semiotics. Among the topics of these Reflections are the self as a cognitive agent, the philosophy of intelligence, and the role of emotion in cognition and reasoning.
