Questo saggio, il suo scritto più importante, racchiude gran parte della sua produzione e delle sue riflessioni su genetica, fisica, biologia, psicologia, psichiatria, linguaggio, comunicazione, epistemologia e sociologia.Ĭosa è l’ecologia della mente? Bateson riteneva che non si può disgiungere l'individuo dall'ambiente circostante, in quanto la sua sopravvivenza è legata all'armonia del rapporto individuo/ambiente. Gregory Bateson, antropologo, sociologo, psicologo, filosofo, è stato quasi una figura di culto in campo scientifico, per il gran numero di risultati ottenuti in vari campi del sapere. His efforts at synthesis are tantalizingly and cryptically suggestive.This is a book we should all read and ponder."-Roger Keesing, American Anthropologist
" view of the world, of science, of culture, and of man is vast and challenging. examines the nature of the mind, seeing it not as a nebulous something, somehow lodged somewhere in the body of each man, but as a network of interactions relating the individual with his society and his species and with the universe at large."-D. Bateson has come to this position during a career that carried him not only into anthropology, for which he was first trained, but into psychiatry, genetics, and communication theory.
"This collection amounts to a retrospective exhibition of a working life. With a new foreword by his daughter Mary Katherine Bateson, this classic anthology of his major work will continue to delight and inform generations of readers. Gregory Bateson was a philosopher, anthropologist, photographer, naturalist, and poet, as well as the husband and collaborator of Margaret Mead.
