Abstract

At the outset, I discuss selected conceptions of world images put forward by philosophers pertaining to human experience and the social construction of reality. Herewith, I am trying to clarify distinctions between appearances and experiences of things in the world and the abilities of humans to construe worlds beyond words, along with their being-in-world, and experiencing their in-the-world existence. Subsequently, I confront some epistemological theories about the complexity of scientific knowledge of the world and its fragmentary perception in psychophysiological cognition. What is relevant for the theme, I present the methods of the lived-through research in dealing with the ideology of promise or threat expressed by leaders of social movements who offer a hope for better worlds which are not here and not now but can be achieved in the future. Lastly, I submit proposals to approach the relationships between world and reality in their hierarchical ordering and semiotic modeling.

Summary

Introductory remarks on the scope and content of the paper

This paper aims at elaborating a theoretical model for the evaluation of the political strategies of cosmological discourse, in which the participants of social communication are obliged to make a choice between competing visions of their lifeworld It departs from the ideological stances of social movements, manifestos or programs, prevailing in media literacy, that are conveyed by members of interest or pressure group, or political fractions, through public or mass communication channels. What has been launched as a novelty is the author’s conception of the linguistic-phenomenological epistemology of practice that considers the complexity of knowledge about the human world and the fragmentarity of its cognition In such a cosmological conception, the reality of everyday life is shown as experienced through the man’s being-in-theworld, where his ‘life-world’ appears to be a ‘lived-through’ world. The submitted proposal of a paper is merging the epistemology of cognition and phenomenology of experience, as an investigative perspective, with metaphysical cosmology, as a subject matter of investigation, in relation to the linguistic semiotics of political communication as an investigative domain
