Editorial Reviews
Product Description
This book presents the views of the founders of constructivism and modern systems theory, who are still providing stimulating cues for international scientific debate. The conversations turn on the results of brain research, the breaks through of cybernetics, the linguistic determination of thought, and the intrinsic connection between epistemology and ethical practice.
About the Author
Bernhard Poerksen is junior professor of journalism and communication science at the University of Hamburg. He was awarded a Ph.D. for a thesis on the language of neo-Nazis and has written books together with Heinz von Foerster and Humberto R. Maturana.
