Dear Gary
Yes. I have heard several of Frederik's lectures on Decisigns the last couple
of years and they were very interesting.

Emne: [biosemiotics:5952] Natural Propositions
Frederik Stjernfelt's new book Natural Propositions is now available, at least
in the U.S., for a very reasonable price, and I think it's a must-read for both
Peirceans and biosemioticians. Those involved in the empirical sciences of
biology and psychology often take for granted things that logicians and
linguists overlook, and vice versa, resulting in misunderstandings on both
sides. Stjernfelt's explanation of "the actuality of Peirce's doctrine of
Dicisigns" makes it clear that Peircean semiotics is NOT only about language or
about human thought processes, and that proto-propositions are involved in the
cognitive processes of even the simplest organisms. And this of course gives us
a new perspective on the relations among language, logic and life. I recommend
it most highly!
