The problem of understanding the iconic signs is the analogy, which cannot be clearly operationalized. Nothing guarantees signification by analogy, because it is neither the necessary effect of a cause, as in the indicative signs, nor the obligatory consequence of a rule, as of symbols (words). But the analogy is also fundamental to the human condition because our Ego implies the presence of Other. Or, just as the images, the understanding of Other implies the analogy: he is a self like me, but another self than myself, that is, an analogous self. That is, you can understand the behavior of the other's activities and actions, even what he communicates as messages because you interpret them as if it were about yourself. Different from the human being who is an existent, in AI the essence precedes existence. Even if the algorithms of the analogy process will be infinitely perfected, that analogy will miss the interpretation that comes from the life of the existing one. AI knows digital, man understands analog; AI understands from knowledge, man knows from understanding.

Public knowledge is being eroded. Post-modern scientific knowledge, already unfathomably complex and technical, is both evolving and becoming obsolete at such great speed that it unveils, paradoxically, the vulnerability and relativity of the truth it claims to grasp. Alongside truth-correspondence and truth-coherence, the older truth-significance also makes itself known. Amplified by the resonance chamber of new media and social networks, the latter can emerge as the "post-truth" and "fake-news" that transform Public Communication into Public Relations.

Mircea Eliade is not a philosopher of language as are the French structuralists or the supporters of analytic philosophy, and hence he is not a thinker whose work would show the influence of the 'linguistic tum'. Rather, he belongs to the modern philosophy which has pondered on how one comes to know something, and which, by consequence, is a philosophy of the human subject. As a result of reflection on knowledge this philosophy of the subject has replaced a philosophy of form or substance. It does share, however, at least one major issue with modem occidental philosophy: the debate over transcendence. Though it does not deny divinity, the Cartesian 'cogito' opens up an implicit way of understanding the biblical statement 'I am who am' vis a vis the comprehending subject. Similarly, German philosophy implicitly made a successor to the 'dead God' out of the subject, out of the 'ego', even before Nietzsche. Mircea Eliade substitutes the pondering of knowledge in modern philosophy with the pondering of significance. But, while he does gesture towards language, he also maintains the presence of the subject, of the religious man or woman. At the same time he neither endorses a position affirming a full, positive transcendence nor does he reject the void, the negative. He explicitly declares himself to be an opponent of both Sartre's idea of a negative transcendence and of a 'mosaic anthropomorphic monotheism', preferring instead a disanthropomorphised transcendence, one purified by the 'acid bath' of Indian philosophy (Eliade 1990, p. 114). This is, in fact, a third type of transcendence that mediates between the full, positive one and the empty, negative one by a 'weakened transcendence' (Piclin 1969, pp. 21-81). Under these circumstances the Whole-the world, the Cosmos, Life-is significant,
