Autopoiesis And Cognition by Humberto R. Maturana
The Realization of the Living
This seminal work explores the concept of autopoiesis, a term coined to describe the self-maintaining chemistry of living cells, and its implications for understanding cognition. It delves into the intricate processes that define living systems as autonomous entities capable of self-production and adaptation. By examining the relationship between biological structure and cognitive processes, the book challenges traditional views of perception and knowledge, proposing that cognition is not a representation of an external reality but a continuous process of interaction and transformation within a living organism.
