Zusammenfassung:The distinction between humans and the natural world is an artefact and more a matter of linguistic communication than a conceptual separation. This Element proposes ecosemiotics as an epistemological tool to better understand the relationship between human and natural processes.

It is proposed as an intellectual bridge between divergent sciences to incorporate within a unique framework different paradigms.
