Resumen | gregory bateson was a philosopher, anthropologist, photographer, naturalist, and poet, as well as the husband and collaborator of margaret mead. 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.
this collection amounts to a retrospective exhibition of a working life. . . . 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. . . . he . . . 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. w. harding, new york review of books
[bateson's] view of the world, of science, of culture, and of man is vast and challenging. his efforts at synthesis are tantalizingly and cryptically suggestive. . . . |
