Rozlišení pozorovatele: Pokus o interpretaci Maturany

„Jazykování“, jak občas Maturana vysvětluje, slouží mimo jiné k orientaci. Tím myslí zaměření pozornosti a v důsledku toho i individuálních zkušeností ostatních, což je způsob podpory rozvoje „domén shody“, které střídavě jsou nezbytnou podmínkou rozvoje jazyka. – Třebaže tento výrok (můžete i říci „jazykování“), kterým jsem tady začal, je přinejlepším ...

Cybernetics and the Art of Living

So let me start my talk by saying I sincerely hope that a knowledgeable scholar will collect and record the history of the first ten or fifteen years of cybernetics before too many of the fascinating personal and intellectual details of its inventors are irrevocably forgotten. I, unfortunately, am anything ...

Key Works in Radical Constructivism
