Uexküll, Theoretical Biology and the “Two-Cultures” of Interdisciplinary Science (an idea from 2012, to be further explored)

Uexkuell is interested in how multivariate sense qualities combine to create the objectivity of the object, even while realizing that such objectivities are embedded and defined by its umlaut , the natural environment and interlaced worlds whereby the different qualities of the object interact. He is aware that the study of epistemology requires differentiation between the subjective and objective measurements that are unavoidably entangled, and this stems from his own interest in the potential range of certainty/uncertainty measures when determining both the quantitative and qualitative content of knowledge forms within the interdisciplinary framing and particular preoccupations of physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology.   He turns to Kant as starting point to his arguments on the reflexivity and intersubjectivity of knowledge through the concept of space-time as a departure point for discussing the nature of the transmission of epistemic paths and ontologies
