The ecological crisis and the desemiotization of nature - Jesper Hoffmeyer

What if nature lost its voice? Biosemiotics is a young, boundary-crossing field exploring how living things create and exchange meaning — from single cells to whole ecosystems. Its late pioneer, Danish thinker Jesper Hoffmeyer (1942–2019), spent decades bridging biology and philosophy to challenge how we understand life itself. Here he traces a thread connecting centuries of Western thought to the environmental troubles we now face. Whether you're a scientist, student, or simply curious, this talk reframes how you see the living world. - Original video footage from: https://tv.nrk.no/serie/kunnskapskana...
