摘要

Wendy Wheeler's The Whole Creature: Complexity, Biosemiotics and the Evolution of Culture is a finely written, broadly interdisciplinary exploration of human social relations as natural and naturally semiotic. It is part of a small but growing number of studies offering a refreshingly intelligent, inspiring, and uncommonly sane solution to the problem of thinking in dichotomies-the natural and the artificial, the body and the mind, the individual and society-arguably one of the greatest intellectual stumbling blocks. Given the vast importance of its message, The Whole Creature should have found itself among a great number of books recognizing and expounding the significance of advances made recently in the study of emergence as both a philosophical and scientific concept. Most significantly, these new findings allow us to re-conceive the hard problem of self-hood, avoiding the disadvantages of constructivism and reductionism.
