Abstract

The present article focuses on the most significant instances of intrinsically semiotic philosophical reflections about animal cognition and communication. It ideally acts as a small complement to the massive treatise on anthroposemiotics provided by Four ages of understanding, and indeed deals only (if only is the word) with those scholars and thinkers mentioned in John Deely's work, selecting among them those, like Hume, Locke, and others, who approached zoösemiotic issues in diverse ways (theoretical, ethical, or explicitly proto-semiotic).
