Abstract

For very many biosemioticians, and certainly for Thomas A. Sebeok – who would lay the foundations for what would become the contemporary project of biosemiotics in the 1970s – the lifelong investigation into "the logic of signs' undertaken by scientist and philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce serves as a model for those wishing to begin the investigation into the bio-logic of sign relations in living systems.
