Summary/Abstract: Albert Einstein is known for his imagination as much as his intelligence. In order to understand the intricate dynamics of molecular interaction, he found it useful to imagine himself down at the level of molecules so that he could ‘see’ what was happening. In the quotation above, Jesper Hoffmeyer challenges us to invoke this same power of creative imagination in order to see problems in our own discipline through the eyes of those working in other disciplines. The field of biosemiotics, deeply enriched by the work of Hoffmeyer, constitutes an important exception in the world of academe wherein scholars struggle with seeing old problems in a new light.
