This monograph explores a bold philosophical concept: non-linguistic positivism. The author argues that human language and linguistic communication are the foundational phenomena of culture. Linguistic communication does not stand alone; it largely determines other "languages" of culture—such as art, music, or architecture—and bears responsibility for them.
The study compares human language with these other cultural languages in terms of their informational capabilities. The author examines aesthetic categories through the lens of language, contrasting "artistic culture" with "artistic language," and identifying how the semiotics of the human being is revealed within linguistic communication.
This analysis culminates in the justification of a fifth stage of positivist philosophy: non-linguistic positivism. In this view, language helps us seek truth within culture, while other cultural languages also participate in the communication process. The core concept becomes "communication" itself—the movement of meaning achieved by all languages of culture.
Looking forward, the monograph sketches a possible sixth stage of positivist philosophy, where communication extends beyond Earth. This revised edition condenses the original text to highlight the key problems that require further development.
