Summary

THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN THIS BOOK: • The summarizing principle of history as the history of reason is semiotic. • History is a dynamic picture of types of reality that unfolds evolutionarily under the semiotic legislation of reason (syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic). • Global history is accessible from a perspective outside of historical time. • The legislation of each individual semiotic type of reason presupposes its own type of long-term historical time, historical man, historical reality, and social paradigm. In particular, before the history of time, there is a history of place, which allows things to be reached and arranged. • Created as a result of the production of artifacts, human history has a productive purpose, the content of which is the semiotics of meaning, sense, concept, and value and their material embodiments. • There are grounds for assuming that postmodernity is the beginning of an evolutionary transition to a new historical era—that of pragmatic (value-based) reason, during which global humanity will be a community of equal people and cultures.
