Summary/Abstract: Yuri M. Lotman’s idea of “semiosphere” resulted from the concept of a “collective memory” as a “model of the “culture as such””. Its genuine meaning can be unveiled by comparison with the “biosphere” of Vladimir Vernadsky, the “monads” of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, the “Ent” of Parmenides, the “transfinite number” of Georg Cantor, the fractal theory of Benoit Mandelbrot and the “morphology” of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
