Friedrich S. Rothschild

Creation and Evolution

A Biosemiotic Approach

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on his research in comparative embryology, Rothschild argues that the central nervous system of animals as well as humans conveys meaning just like language, and is not merely aimed at adapting to the external environment. His theory of biosemiotics introduces the concept of inner adaptation.
