CASTILLO MORQUECHO, Víctor. Orden, límites y transgresión: Reflexiones en torno a la obra de Jakob von Uexküll. Sig. Fil [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.28, pp.91-111. ISSN 1665-1324.

The intention of this paper is to analyze the principal concepts in Jakob von Uexkiiltt's work, considering the confrontation with the darwinian mechanism of the beginnings of the XX^th Century. In response to it, Uexkülll supports the idea of a living world of interrelations, which is conformed in accordance to a subjacent Plan or Order. But the question analyzed here, and which is not at all solved by Uexkülll, is the roll that should be attributed to chance, or the natural tendency to surpass the limits. A problem that acquires its deepest meaning in the human context, because man is, as we know, an old actor of transgression.

Palabras llave : biosemiotics; darwinism; macroevolucionism; mechanism; Umwelt.
