The Corrupt Linguistic System and the Transition to Post-Language: From Classical Semiotics to Existential Post-Semiotics

This article explores the concept of the “corrupt linguistic system” and its relation to the transition toward “post-language.” Three different levels of linguistic systems are identified: true language, simulated language, and corrupt language. It is demonstrated how the collapse of the authentic relation between language and reality has led to the emergence of a linguistic order that itself carries false signifiers. This condition is associated with the crisis of the humanities in the era of post-structuralism and with the increase of mental entropy. In response to this crisis, the notion of “existential post-semiotics” is proposed, grounded in primary perceptions and the pre-signifying level, opening a new horizon for rethinking the foundations of the humanities and the arts. Furthermore, “intuition” is introduced as the faculty and potentiality of movement, while “consciousness as the fifth dimension” is presented as a novel framework for linking human beings, the world, and meaning. The conclusion suggests that the transition to post-language is not an illusion but rather a necessity for overcoming the paradoxical condition of contemporary humanity.
