Al considerar cualquier sistema semiótico como un sistema de símbolos que abarca también a sus usuarios, y cada cultura como un sistema semiótico, esta propuesta posibilita una asociación entre sistemas de símbolos inmateriales y aquellos con una base socio-material mediante una formulación que no es netamente material ni conceptual sino que combina elementos de ambos. El objetivo es plantear una ontología de la cultura más consistente con el materialismo emergentista, que sirva además para integrarla en las ciencias sociales.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This paper incorporates a broad understanding of culture into Mario Bunge&#8217;s systemic philosophy. Cultures are viewed as semiotic systems. Semiotic systems are symbolic systems which include their users and view each culture as a semiotic system. This approach makes it possible to relate immaterial symbolic systems to real material social systems via semiotic systems, which are neither purely material nor purely ideal but combine elements of both. The goal is to sketch an ontology of culture that is consistent with emergentist materialism as well as being useful for the integration of culture into social science analysis.]]></p></abstract>
