La liberté sémiotique
Cet article présente des arguments en vue d’une résolution des problèmes liés à la question de l’intentionnalité naturelle dans une perspective biosémiotique. En confrontant les théories de l’information au modèle évolutionniste dominant en biologie, l’auteur montre les insuffisances du réductionnisme néodarwinien dans les cas d’adaptation sans évolution au sens strict de la sélection naturelle. Ainsi est-ce l’agentivité qui se retrouve au coeur …

The semiome
The fact that agency is an essential aspect of life introduces new explanatory avenues into the map of evolutionary thought. There is hardly any process in animate nature that is not, in one way or another, regulated communicatively, ie. through the ability of living systems' to read and interpret relevant signs in their environment. Semiotics - the science of signs - therefore ought to become a key tool for the 'life sciences' in general and bio…

Uexküllian Planmässigkeit
In strict opposition to the prevailing positivist conception of nature as senseless and deprived of meaning Jakob von Uexküll claimed that a certain planmässigkeit was operative in nature. This idea however might be taken to mean that organic evolution is not itself a creative process but a gradual, if majestic, unfolding of Nature's own master plan. Such an idea would threaten to restore determinism in the center of biological theory, and this w…

Seeing virtuality in nature
S/E ≥ 1
Natural (non-cultivated) systems are nmed to economize their use of energy as much as possible, and thereby to produce minimal amounts of entropy. It is suggested that this has been obtained by optimizing the evolutionary creation of semiotic controls on all processes of life. As long as biological (ultimately photosynthetic) energy sources satisfied most human needs for energy consumption, these biosemiotic controls remained largely undisturbed,…
Order out of indeterminacy
L'A. examine les interactions semetiques entre les organismes vivants, c-a-d le comportement semiogenique de tout systeme vivant quand des regularites et des habitudes tendent a creer des interpretes dans d'autres especes et ainsi a integrer des agents vivants a n'importe quel niveau dans une structure de signes et d'habitudes sous forme de reseau. Le mutualisme indirect offre une parfaite illustration de ce que Peirce appelle la tendance de la n…
Semiosis and biohistory
From language to nature
The development of form in living organisms continues to challenge biological research. The concept of biological information encoded in the genetic program that controls development forms a major part of the semiotic metaphor in biology. Development is here seen in analogy to an execution of a program, written in a formal language in the computer. Other versions of the semiotic or "nature-as-language" metaphor uses other formal or informal aspec…
