Jakob Johann von Uexküll (1864–1944) was a significant figure in the fields of biology and philosophy, best known for his work in biosemiotics and the study of animal behavior. He is often credited with introducing the concept of the "Umwelt," which refers to the self-centered world or "environment" that an organism perceives and interacts with. This concept emphasizes that different species perceive their environments in unique ways based on their sensory and cognitive capacities.
