Angeletics: A Message Theory [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This paper deals with some questions concerning the concept of message at different levels, particularly as a specific human phenomenon as well as a phenomenon of non-human living organisms. I argue that we need an interdisciplinary approach to this phenomenon. I use the word angeletics, derived from Greek angelia, i.e., message, as a possible name for this science dealing with the production, distribution, interpretation, storage, and control of messages and messengers. Angeletics in a narrow sense belongs to the Humanities and Social Sciences. In a wider sense it deals with the study of messages as a natural phenomenon. The first part of the paper deals with the conceptual foundations of angeletics as an interdisciplinary theory. In the second part I develop some thoughts about the difference between message at the human and non-human levels and I deal particularly with the relation between angeletics and hermeneutics.
