Projects
I’ll mention three; I’ve worked with 1) for some years while 2) and 3) are more recent projects, and from my point of view often interconnected.
1) Biosemiotics as a way to understand emergence of information in biosystems and as an organicist approach to philosophy of biology. More on biosemiotics, see www.biosemiotics.org
2) How to analyze and contest what has been called academic capitalism (business-like behaviour in academia) and defend universities as a public good? See the blog University Politics
3) How to defend free inquiry and academic freedom?
