Kohn’s iconic idea is that forests think because semiosis is not a uniquely human possession: signs circulate through organisms, environments, predators, paths, sounds and habits, creating a living ecology of interpretation. His theoretical contribution is an anthropology beyond the human that extends meaning-making into biological and ecological relations without reducing nonhuman life to metaphor. For Socioplastics, How Forests Think gives operational precision to more-than-human reading: a field is not made only by texts, buildings or institutions, but by signals, traces, thresholds, residues, seasonal rhythms and nonhuman agencies that participate in world-formation. Its operational value is semiotic ecology as method: to read an environment is to follow the consequences of signs across species, matter and territory. The conceptual bridge is to ecological anthropology and biosemiotics, where urban and artistic systems can be understood as living interpretive fields rather than purely cultural constructions.
