The Tree of Knowledge by Francisco J Varela
Knowing how we know is the subject of this book. Its authors present a new view of cognition that has important social and ethical implications, for, they assert, the only world we humans can have is the one we create together through the actions of our coexistence. Written for a general audience as well as for students, scholars, and scientists and abundantly illustrated with examples from biology, linguistics, and new social and cultural phenomena, this revised edition includes a new afterword by Dr. Varela, in which he discusses the effect the book has had in the years since its first publication.Francisco J. is a writer and a musician. Varela (1946-2001) was the Director of the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique, as well as a Professor of Cognitive Science and Epistemology at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris and a Cofounder of the Mind and Life Institute.
