Summary/Abstract: Jesper Hoffmeyer’s innovative concept of a biological semiosphere has significant connections with at least one basic concept in biology and with several basic concepts and writings in other disciplines. In what follows, I give a brief indication of a foundational aspect of ‘meaning’, and then briefly itemize seven concepts that connect in seminal ways with Hoffmeyer’s innovative concept. These significant connections incidentally show that Hoffmeyer’s concept need not rely only on a Peirceian semiotic grid for its epistemological significance or theoretical validity.
