In this volume, the foundations of symbolism are transformed into a phenomenological, technological, philosophical and psychological discussion enriching the readers? knowledge of these foundations. It offers the opportunity to rethink the impact that evolution theory and the confirmations about evolution as a historical and natural fact, has had and continues to have today. The book is divided into three parts: Part I Life, Meaning, and Information Part II Semiosis and Evolution Part III Physics, medicine, and bioenergetics It starts by laying out a general historical, philosophical, and scientific framework for the collection of studies that will follow. In the following some of the main reference models of evolutionary theories are revisited: Extended Synthesis, Formal Darwinism and Biosemiotics. The authors shed new light on how to rethink the processes underlying the origins and evolution of knowledge, the boundary between teleonomic and teleological paradigms of evolution and their possible integration, the relationship between linguistics and biological sciences, especially with reference to the concept of causality, biological information and the mechanisms of its transmission, the difference between physical and biosemiotic intentionality, as well as an examination of the results offered or deriving from the application in the economics and the engineering of design, of biosemiotic models for the transmission of culture, digitalization and proto-design. This volume is of fundamental scientific and philosophical interest, and seen as a possibility for a dialogue based on theoretical and methodological pluralism. The international nature of the publication, with contributions from all over the world, will allow a further development of academic relations, at the service of the international scientific and humanistic heritage. 410 0$aInterdisciplinary Evolution Research,$x2199-3076 ;$v6 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aBiology$xPhilosophy 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aHumanities 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aEvolutionary Biology 606 $aPhilosophy of Biology 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aHumanities and Social Sciences 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aSemiòtica$2thub 606 $aBiologia$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEvolution (Biology). 615 0$aBiology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 14$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Biology. 615 24$aSemiotics. 615 24$aHumanities and Social Sciences. 615 24$aArchaeology. 615 7$aSemiòtica 615 7$aBiologia 676 $a930.1 676 $a570.14 700 $aPagni$b Elena$0926686 702 $aPagni$b Elena 702 $aSimanke$b Richard Theisen 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910520071503321 996 $aBiosemiotics and Evolution$92584168 997 $aUNINA
