«Der Baum der Erkenntnis» is the philosophy and biology essay by Humberto R. Maturana and Francisco J. Varela (Goldmann, paperback, 280 pages, in German).
Maturana and Varela set out the biological roots of human knowledge and argue that reality is constructed in the observer's interaction with their environment. With examples from biology, linguistics, evolution and culture, Maturana and Varela relate language, cognition and coexistence, and propose that the world we know is the one we create together.
«Der Baum der Erkenntnis» was originally published in 1984 as «El árbol del conocimiento»; this 1990 German edition is translated from Spanish by Kurt Ludewig.
For a general audience, as well as for students, scientists and specialists in philosophy, biology and neuroscience.
