Gregory Bateson's World of Difference

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

ScienceGCOs conventional understanding of environment as an inert material resource underlies our unwillingness to acknowledge the military-industrial role in ongoing ecological catastrophes. In a crucial challenge to modern scienceGCOs exclusive attachment to materialist premises, Bateson reframed culture, psychology, biology, and evolution in terms of feedback and communication, fundamentally altering perception of our relationship with nature. This intellectual biography covers the whole trajectory of BatesonGs career, from his first anthropological work alongside Margaret Mead through the continuing relevance of his late forays into biosemiotics. Harries-Jones shows how the sum of BatesonGs thinking across numerous fields turns our notions of causality upside down, providing a moral divide between sustainable creativity and our current biocide.
