Our passion for this work arose in very different histories of living, but these histories converged some years ago around the writings of Humberto Maturana. There were other reasons for us getting together, but it was the ideas of Maturana which inspired us both to take another look at the ...

Pokusy o pročištění pojmových základů rodinné terapie pomocí “epistemologie” přinesly vzrušení, nudu, podráždění a zmatek. Motivován přesvědčením, že aspoň zmatek je možné zmírnit, předkládá autor tuto stať jako studijního průvodce a tak trochu jako Rozetskou desku pro převod díla Gregory Batesona a Humberta Maturany. Článek ukazuje, že Maturanova práce je ...

Vybral jsem pro Vás dva nezkrácené texty H. Maturany a N. Luhmanna, první z roku 1985, druhý (v prvním vydání) z roku 1982. Důvodem takové volby pro mě bylo jejich propojení společným tématem "lásky" – tématem, jež se zdá být tak vzdálené chladnému jazyku konstruktivistů. Dalším důvodem je odlišnost přístupu ...

There are textbook definitions, of ...

Humberto Maturana has generated a coherent and extensive explicatory matrix that encompasses his research in neurophysiology, cognition, language, emotion, and love. Can we formulate a map of Maturana’s work in a manner that is consistent with the systemic matrix it represents and that serves as an aid for understanding Maturana’s ...

For more than 40 years the work and ideas of Humberto Maturana has permeated the academic world and applied disciplines. What began as an answer to the question “What is life?” has become an encompassing explanatory network that includes living, cognition, languaging, and emotioning. In October 2010 we decided to ...

Maturana is a biologist. He makes it very clear that he speaks and writes only as a biologist. Others may apply his work to other spheres; however he himself does not. This paper is based on notes taken during a three day lecture given by Humberto Maturana in St Kilda, ...

The answers to these two questions would have been obvious years ago: Human beings, of course, machines are instruments of human design! But now days when we speak so much of progress, science and technology as if progress, science and technology were in themselves values to be venerated, there are ...

Uncertainty about funding; difficulty in determining research priorities; and concern about technology transfer (the lack of application of research results): these words stand out in the language of scientific/industrial research and development, today. So-called technology transfer seems to be the central issue because the criteria for determining research priorities and ...
