生物符號(hào)學(xué)致力于在生物學(xué)、哲學(xué)、語(yǔ)言學(xué)和傳播學(xué)之間架起一座橋梁。生物符號(hào)學(xué)研究是研究生命有機(jī)體和系統(tǒng)中的符號(hào)和意義。它的主要挑戰(zhàn)是通過建立在符號(hào)是生活世界的基本組成部分的信念之上，使生物學(xué)意義和信息自然化。生物符號(hào)學(xué)引發(fā)了對(duì)生物學(xué)和符號(hào)學(xué)基本假設(shè)的反思。因此，生物學(xué)應(yīng)該認(rèn)識(shí)到生命的符號(hào)學(xué)本質(zhì)，并相應(yīng)地改造生命的理論和方法論，符號(hào)學(xué)和人文學(xué)科應(yīng)該認(rèn)識(shí)到符號(hào)在人類領(lǐng)域之外的存在。生物符號(hào)學(xué)是研究生命基本原理的前沿學(xué)科。通過挑戰(zhàn)對(duì)生命本質(zhì)的傳統(tǒng)假設(shè)，并提出不同的觀點(diǎn)，它開辟了令人興奮的新研究道路。

Biosemiotics is dedicated to building a bridge between biology, philosophy, linguistics, and the communication sciences. Biosemiotic research is concerned with the study of signs and meaning in living organisms and systems. Its main challenge is to naturalize biological meaning and information by building on the belief that signs are fundamental, constitutive components of the living world.Biosemiotics has triggered rethinking of fundamental assumptions in both biology and semiotics. In this view, biology should recognize the semiotic nature of life and reshape its theories and methodology accordingly while semiotics and the humanities should acknowledge the existence of signs beyond the human realm. Biosemiotics is at the cutting edge of research on the fundamentals of life. By challenging traditional assumptions on the nature of life and suggesting alternative perspectives, it opens up exciting new research paths.
