Theoretical biology on its way to biosemiotics
pp. 417-443
in: , Essential readings in biosemiotics, Berlin, Springer, 2009Abstract
Appropriate as it was to conclude the last section with a forward-looking article by Sebeok and his collaborators it is fitting to begin this one with a backwards-glancing article by biosemiotician Kalevi Kull. Founder of the world's first Ph.D. granting program in Biosemiotics, Kull bridges both biosemiotics' Sebeokian past and its post-Sebeokian future, and like his good friend Thomas Sebeok, is as committed to the facilitation of the publication of other's work – and to the archival chronicling of biosemiotic's long and perhaps still largely undiscovered history – as he is towards the contribution of his own original scholarship to the field.Botanist, ethologist, theoretical biologist, and historian of science, Kalevi Kull comes from long tradition of biosemiotically-oriented thinking in Estonia.
