Audience
Theoretical biologists, ethologists, astrobiologists, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, philosophers, phenomenologists, semioticians, biosemioticians, molecular biologists, linguists, system scientists and engineers.
This is the first book on biosemiotics in its global conceptual and spatial scope. #Biosemiotics is presented using the language of natural sciences, which supports the scientific grounding of semiotic terms. Finally, the cosmic dimension of life and meaning-making leads to a reconsideration of ethical principles and ecological mentality here on earth and in space exploration.

97yo genie #HHPattee published a chapter just few months ago in #OpenSemiotics vol4, in which expands & pushes his theoretical argumentation framework, embracing the recent biology research on #abiogenesis & spontaneous #folding

» #RNATieClub did not discover the “mechanism” of the code because there was no #mechanism
The code is symbolic or “chemically gratuitous” in #Monod words
There was nothing to discover from laws or logical thinking «

@TomKooning that's a long journey, e.g., Descartes / Locke -> Leibnitz / Wolff / Tschirnhaus -> Lambert / Kant / Hegel -> von Uexküll / Peirce / Husserl / Heidegger...
Today, Dualism is hardly philosophically defensible.
Besides criticism from #philosophy there are many other entry points (e.g., embodiment, 4E).
In the 20th century theoretical frameworks for agency were developed (-> #biosemiotics).
On the philosophical side #phenomenology is a useful framework.|
