摘要

This article is a response to G.M. Burghardt (Biosemiotics, 17(2):387–406, 2024): ‘Jakob von Uexküll, Heterophenomenology, and Behavior Systems i: Core Ethology and Merleau-Ponty’. I discuss (with an example taken from the equine welfare literature) why Burghardt’s concept of ‘heterophenomenology’ is an important one for animal welfare science, as well as having a broader relevance to the field of ethology. I also suggest paradigms by which heterophenomenology could be incorporated into applied animal welfare studies, promoting an interdisciplinary approach to both animal welfare research, and the practical implementation of welfare management strategies derived from applied welfare science.
