Biosemiotics: Bridging the science-humanities gap - Jesper Hoffmeyer

Where does meaning begin in life? In this rare recording, the late Jesper Hoffmeyer (1942-2019) asks us to notice what science trained us to forget: that a cell reading a hormone, a bird feigning a broken wing, and a child grasping pain all share something irreducible—interpretation. Hoffmeyer confronts the centuries-old divide between science and the humanities, offering a vision where understanding nature requires both. A generous introduction from one of the field's pioneers. - Original video footage from: https://kultuur.err.ee/303120/video-s...
