The big question of how and why mindedness evolved necessitates
collaborative, multidisciplinary investigation. Biosemiotics
provides a new conceptual space that attracts a multitude of
thinkers in the biological and cognitive sciences and the
humanities who recognize continuity in the biosphere from the
simplest to the most complex organisms, and who are united in the
project of trying to account for even language and human
consciousness in this comprehensive picture of life. The young
interdiscipline of biosemiotics has so far by and large focused on
codes, signs and sign processes in the microworld-a fact that
reflects the field's strong representation in microbiology and
embryology. What philosophers of mind and cognitive scientists can
contribute to the growing interdiscipline are insights into how the
biosemiotic weltanschauung applies to complex organisms like humans
where such signs and sign processes constitute human society and
culture.
