    "[Genetically Modified Organisms: A Scientific-Political Dialogue on a Meaningless Meme is] presents the debate associated with introducing GMOs as a traditional debate between science and progress against dogma. After reading it, I hope that science will win for the sake of all of us."

From Semiotics towards Philosophical Metaphysics

This book introduces new approaches to semiotics and metaphysical philosophy, innovations that show how mature semiotics naturally leads to new vistas in philosophical thinking. It also demonstrates how researchers change their initial formulations over the course of their research, arriving at fresh results that sometimes conflict with their original interpretations.

In order to do this, the book gathers together a series of papers by the author composed over the course of more than 30 years of semiotic studies. The ideas presented in these essays lead to conclusions that differ significantly from some currently accepted philosophical views.

The volume concludes with a section that presents some practical implementations of these theoretical concepts, related to issues such as the construction of new scientific languages, and introduces a new format for bibliographies that may be more helpful to readers of scientific literature than the standard presentation in use today.


Abraham Solomonick studied Law and the teaching of the English language at undergraduate level, before going on to obtain a PhD in Pedagogy. Since his retirement, he has written more than 100 publications, primarily on topics related to Hebrew language instruction and on semiotics (the science of signs) and its relation to philosophy. His most recent publication, A Theory of General Semiotics, led him to develop a new approach to metaphysics that is propounded in this book.

"Its clear, straightforward style and provocative subject matter make for compelling reading ... and it adds a philosophical basis to the theoretical framework established in Solomonick’s earlier book."
