‘Traditionally, the humanities have been concerned with meanings relevant to humans in human-dominated contexts. The framework developed here challenges that orientation, insisting cognitive processes happen within a broad spectrum of possibilities that include nonhuman animals as well as technical systems. Moreover, the meanings generated within these contexts, deeply worthy of consideration in their own right, are also consequential for human outcomes as well, from the flourishing of trees in rain forests to the communication signals emanating from a control tower to aircraft within its purview. This framework emphasizes that these different kinds of meanings are entangled together in ways that transcend any single human viewpoint and that cannot be bounded by human interests alone. As our view of what counts as cognition expands, so too do the realms in which interpretations and meanings emerge and evolve. All of these, this framework implies, count as meaning making and consequently should be of potential interest to the humanities, as well as to the social and natural sciences’ (pp. 26-27).
