Steps to an Ecology of Mind: foundations of a connective epistemological matrix
Abstract
The author considers Steps to an Ecology of Mind (Bateson G., 1972) a book of extraordinary importance. He attributes the latter to the fact that many of the ideas that helped generate the Ecology of Mind, Bateson's greatest intellectual legacy, can be found in the essays of which the text is composed. He illustrates, by way of example, some of those ideas, which he regards as foundations of the Ecology of Mind: 'stochastic process', 'uncommitted potential for change', 'deutero-learning' and 'economy of flexibility'.
