Gregory Bateson: a (complex) thought to think about complexity. An attempt to a therapeutic reading/writing

Abstract

The article offers a glance at man and his vast range of thought, assuming the difficulty of trying to 'catch' the core of the project bensoniano. Bateson is a character that transtravelled disciplines -communication, ethnology and anthropology, psychiatry/psychology, genetics, philosophy, biology, zoology, ethology and etiology, cybernetics- settling in what he calls the natural history of ideas, or ecology of the mind. This paper presents a approach to this vast Batesonian thought, and particularly his epistemology for cultural change.
