Summary/Abstract: The above quote from Jesper Hoffmeyer’s Signs of Meaning in the Universe (1996) sets high standards that very few academics can live up to. To question the foundations of biology, Hoffmeyer first turned to philosophy – and then energized the ‘biosemiotic movement’ to the benefit of those who are willing to test the foundations of their own disciplines for a better understanding of life as semiosis.
