Tabataba’I and uexkull based upon physiological and genetic realities of organisms sought to speculate about the perceptual word and human conditions. The considerable similarities and affinities between two theory pave ground for recognizing and developing some capacities in tabataba’I theory. Conventional knowledge is subjective tool arised from innate and genetic demands and relevant emotions on the other side is a world constructed and affected by natural needs of organism. This formation is realized by mechanism of definition which is equal to convention. Definition itself is being brought about functional circle that is interaction and mutual affection of organism and environment. Paying attention to the biological reality, bodily needs, effect of non-cognitive elements on mind and knowledge, close relation between perceptual and semantic dimensions, priority of function and usefulness instead of truth and false, emphasis on subjectivity are among the similarities of the two theories. Believing in permanent conventions distinguish tabataba’I from uexkull.

As a result of going behind tradition and criticizing its foundations and based upon objective and subjective elements established through centuries, modern rationality has determined a special kind of life-style, an important feature of it is the technical dominance of man over the nature. Some thinkers like Heidegger (1889-1976) thought that technology had risen out of foundations of the western world-view. Thus, he thinks that it is impossible to achieve the human and sublime goals through philosophical content of technology (essentialism). Karl Popper (1902-1994), at the other side, refuses the essentialism and insists upon the instrumental feature of technology. The analysis of modern media as a kind of technology which has its own affection on world public opinion with taking into account the semiotic various levels gets us beyond this challenge.
