Formalism
p. Sometimes the online encyclopedy "//L'Encyclodie de l'Agora//":http://agora.qc.ca/encyclopedie.nsf offers insightful articles, like "//Histoire d'Internet//":http://agora.qc.ca/rech_int.html by "Jacques Dufresne":http://agora.qc.ca/cvdufresne.html (this man worked many years on Information Highways as we can see on the aformentioned page or inside "//Synthèse des aspects historiques des inforoutes//":http://agora.qc.ca/activ.html) - be aware that this article contains many big errors, so be careful. Nevertheless, in the fourth part "//L'ordinateur, hybride de l'esprit de l'homme et de son système nerveux//":http://agora.qc.ca/rech_int4.html, we can read an interesting definition for "formalism" by "Ludwig Klages":http://agora.qc.ca/mot.nsf/Dossiers/Ludwig_Klages :
bq. Le signe domine le signifié, et la pensée par signes purs remplace la pensée par unités significatives, et même la pensée par concepts.
