Rekonstruojant Greimo etiką: struktūralizmo moralinės maksimos
Reconstructing Greimas’s Ethics: the Morality of Structuralism

Summary/Abstract: The article, based on a new historicist methodology, discusses the ethics of Algirdas Julius Greimas’s semiotical statements – half-century-old sentences of Greimas, when compared with the postmodern understanding of humanity, become moral maxims. The main attention is paid to analysis of meaning formation, figurative, narative and logical-semantical levels of text, and the definition of esthesis. The article concludes that contemporary man has to choose between meaning, sense, the classical order of texts and of the world, on the one hand, and the unimportance, loss of meaning and sense, fragmented reality, and schizophrenia, on the other.
