Pathways to the understanding of signs and meanings in the biosphere: Historical and contemporary perspectives2024 •
Increasingly, the examination of the phenomena of signs and meanings in the biosphere is becoming recognized as an important area of inquiry for biology and ecology. In the current chapter, we both look back to some of the earliest history of such inquiry, as well as look ahead to how we think that these ideas are developing. The chapter is then divided into two main parts, accordingly. Part 1 presents a selectively abbreviated history of some of the more influential ways that the phenomena of signs and meanings have been conceptualized in the natural sciences from antiquity to the present, while Part 2 presents some of the key insights and concepts now being developed within the field of biosemiotics for furthering our understanding of the role of signs and meanings in the organization and interaction of living systems.
VALENTIA EN EL SIGLO III D.C.
VALENTIA EN EL SIGLO III D. C. VALENTIA IN THE 3RD CENTURY A. D2023 •
The archaeological evidence of Valentia for the third century AD shows an evolution according to the western part of the Empire. Some constructive activity is still detected from the end of the second century AD to the beginning of the third century. Abundant inscriptions were dedicated by the city to the emperors and their family in the third century. They are the best proof of the continuity of the life of the colony until the reign of Aurelian. Several well-dated destructions have been found in this final period (270-280). Sewerage was also affected. This negative phenomenon was short-lived. There are numerous findings related with the reconstruction of the city in the end of the third century.

Joseph Butler (1692-1752) es uno de los filósofos y teólogos ingleses más destacados del siglo XVIII. La presente traducción corresponde a uno de los textos breves que el Obispo añadió a The Analogy of Religion, to the Constitution and Course of Nature. En él reflexiona sobre la identidad personal y dialoga con los argumentos de uno de los más eminentes filósofos de la modernidad: John Locke. El texto original en inglés, sobre el que hicimos la traducción, hace parte del Project Gutenberg.
