Summary/Abstract: Jesper Hoffmeyer’s work has been fundamental in establishing biosemiotics as a cross-disciplinary field, providing scientific grounds for the existence of meaningful systems in the natural world. Hoffmeyer’s collaborator, Donald Favareau (2009), explains that biosemiotics is about finding the relation between biological organization and mental experiences. Thus, biosemiotics locates the production of meaning at the level of living processes, not just in the human mind as producer of sign relations.
