ABSTRACT
The survey of biosemiotic theory of evolution is at the same time the basis for a new anthropology. Viktor Von Weizsaecker was a neurologist. His view of the limitations of the neurological methodology, especially in regard to the image of man, is not far removed from the reasons that led the author to biosemiotics. Von Weizsacker tries to explain life and experience and also the function of the central nervous system (CNS) as derived from a basis that cannot be objectified. Biosemiotics regards life and experience expressions of complementary intentions derived from a Transcendental Subjectivity (TS). Biosemiotics puts itself in the place of science founded in objective facts. It is a metascience asking for the meaning of the facts. Biosemiotics is dependent on facts and tied to the results of science. The breakthrough to a meta-science, more turned to the arts than to science, is to be found in biosemiotics and its complementary role to science of the classical style.
