| Zusammenfassung: | Gregory Bateson (1904-1980), anthropologist, psychologist, systems thinker, student of animal communication, and insightful environmentalist, was one of the most important holistic thinkers of the twentieth century. Noel G. Charlton offers this first truly accessible introduction to Batson's work, distilling and clarifying Bateson's understanding of the "mind" or "mental systems" as being present throughout the living Earth, in systems and creatures of all kinds. Part biography, part overview of the evolution of his ideas, Charlton's book situates Bateson's thought in relation to that of other ecological thinkers. This long-awaited volume opens up this challenging thinker's body of work and introduces it to a new generation of readers. |

Gregory Bateson
(Ί
904-1980),
anthropologist, psychologist, systems thinker, student
of animal communication, and insightful environmentalist, was one of the most important
holistic thinkers of the twentieth century. Noel G. Charlton offers this first truly accessible
introduction to Bateson s work, distilling and clarifying Bateson s understanding of the
mind or mental systems as being present throughout the living Earth, in systems and
creatures of all kinds. Part biography, part overview of the evolution of his ideas, Charlton s
book situates Bateson s thought in relation to that of other ecological thinkers. This long-
awaited volume opens up this challenging thinker s body of work and introduces it to a
new generation of readers.
This is a publishing event of the first order: an incomparably lucid exploration of
Bateson s unique insights into the natureof mind and of the living Earth. Noel Charlton s book,
both elegant and accessible, sheds new light on Bateson s revolutionary relevance to our
time.

Масу,
author of Mutual Causality in Buddhism and General Systems Theory:

Dharma
of Natural Systems
The uniqueness of Bateson s thought came from its broad range and its generality.
In an age characterized by fragmentation and overspecialization, Bateson challenged the
basic assumptions and methods of several sciences by looking for patterns connecting
different phenomena and for processes beneath structures.
This book is a wonderful introduction to the key ideas of this pioneer in systemic
thinking. By identifying Bateson s revolutionary concept of mental process, immanent
throughout the living world, as the foundation of his science and philosophy, the author is
able to present Bateson s complex and wide-ranging ideas as a coherent body of thought.
From the central concept of mind as immanent in nature, Charlton maintains, flow Bateson s
understanding of aesthetics, his awe of the sacred, and
—
perhaps most importantly
—
his
insistence on the need to develop a new ecological ethics that reconnects us with the
living Earth. I highly recommend this important and inspiring book.
