What Is It Like to Be a Biosemiotician
Original language description
This chapter deals with the conceptual analysis of the nature of biosemiotic research. It examines biosemiotics through the demands of the philosophy of science. It uses the approaches of Larry Laudan (the departure of ontology, methodology, and axiology of scien-tific research) and Stephen Kellert (conceptual borrowing analysis in science). The chapter classifies biosemiotics as a cross-discipline at the intersection of traditional biology and semiotics. It pays particular attention to whether central conceptual borrowings—the sign and interpretation— are collectively transferable to biology, without being conceived as mere metaphors. The chapter also treats whether it is possible to maintain inferential relations between these conceptual borrowings within the new context presented by biosemiotics. Two complementary approaches to biosemiotics are taken into account as case reports, i.e. Marcello Barbieri's Code Biology, which attracts biosemiotics to its original scientific nature, and the philosophical approach of Claudio Rodríguez, who seeks to builda consistent metaphysical foundation for biosemiotics.
