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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
關於心智如何及為何演化的重大問題，需要跨學科的合作研究。生物符號學（biosemiotics）提供了一個新的概念空間，吸引了來自生物科學、認知科學及人文學科的眾多思想家，他們認識到從最簡單到最複雜的生物體之間在生物圈中的連續性，並在試圖解釋語言和人類意識在這一全面生命圖景中的角色上團結一致。這一年輕的跨學科領域生物符號學迄今為止主要集中於微觀世界中的代碼、符號和符號過程，這一事實反映了該領域在微生物學和胚胎學中的強大代表性。心智哲學家和認知科學家能為這一日益增長的跨學科領域貢獻的，是對生物符號學世界觀如何應用於像人類這樣的複雜生物的見解，因為這些符號和符號過程構成了人類社會和文化。
