The Life Of Meaning

Coming finally to The Life Of Meaning, the foregoing has been an attempt to demonstrate ways in which systems of meaning, socio-semiotic systems that include those of language, can be understood as being of the same general type as systems of life, biological systems, along many dimensions of detail, including those relating to supervenience, embedding and genesis. But it can also be seen that communities of biological organisms are the means by which meaning comes into existence. We are the life that meaning has.
