Editorial Reviews
Review
"Mauro Ceruti has constructed a trailblazing and provocative inquiry into the emergent field of experimental epistemology. No one before has so fully and painstakingly exposed the complex nexus and associative linkages between our biological evolution, cognitive processes, and cultural domains of discourse. Constraints and Possibilities will create much new debate and provide a platform for revisioning and humanizing the scientific enterprise."
-Ronald E. Purser of Loyola University, Chicago
Book Description
Originally published in the Italian, Constraints and Possibilities has caused a considerable stir in Europe and has already been translated into several languages. In what noted cyberneticist Heinz von Foerster called a stroke of genius, Ceruti applies a new perspective to our understanding of evolution, and startlingly outlines how the evolution of our knowledge and our knowledge of evolution have in fact been mirror images of each other. Expanding on the intellectual tradition of Gregory Bateson, Ervin Laszlo, Stephen Jay Gould, and Niles Eldredge, Ceruti's work is a testament to the paradigm shift occurring in science today. Indispensable reading for anyone interested in the evolution of our conception of knowledge.
