Biosemiotics provides a new conceptual space that attracts a\nmultitude of thinkers in the biological and cognitive sciences and the humanities who\nrecognize continuity in the biosphere from the simplest to the most complex organisms, and\nwho are united in the project of trying to account for even language and human consciousness\nin this comprehensive picture of life. The young interdiscipline of biosemiotics has so far by\nand large focused on codes, signs and sign processes in the microworld—a fact that reflects\nthe field’s strong representation in microbiology and embryology. What philosophers of mind\nand cognitive scientists can contribute to the growing interdiscipline are insights into how the\nbiosemiotic weltanschauung applies to complex organisms like humans where such signs and\nsign processes constitute human society and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-01-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789400795051\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-007-5419-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 420.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44480401178764,"sku":"9789400795051","price":197.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789400795051.jpg?v=1757610879","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789400795051","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
