This book presents programmatic texts on biosemiotics, written
collectively by world leading scholars in the field (Deacon,
Emmeche, Favareau, Hoffmeyer, Kull, Markos, Pattee, Stjernfelt). In
addition, the book includes chapters which focus closely on
semiotic case studies (Bruni, Kotov, Maran, Neuman, Turovski).
According to the central thesis of biosemiotics, sign processes
characterise all living systems and the very nature of life, and
their diverse phenomena can be best explained via the dynamics and
typology of sign relations. The authors are therefore presenting a
deeper view on biological evolution, intentionality of organisms,
the role of communication in the living world and the nature of
sign systems -- all topics which are described in this volume. This
has important consequences on the methodology and epistemology of
biology and study of life phenomena in general, which the authors
aim to help the reader better understand.
