Fritjof Capra: The Web of Life
tags : [[ecology]]
source : Fritjof Capra: The Web of Life (excerpt)
Notes
- Ecology is the study of natural relationships
- Ecology forces a shift in perspective from objects to relationships and processes
- [[Systems thinkers]] realized that laws of science were not enough, but we donβt need anything from the outside: we have to understand the relationships of matter
- Capra says that there are two approaches to science: βWhat is it made of?β and βWhat is the pattern?β
-
A pattern isnβt material, itβs a set of relationships
- Marx would probably disagree with this
- Capra believes that consciousness is a property of life
- An insight of [[cybernetics]] was noticing that life is made up of networks
- Systems can correct themselves through the process of [[feedback]]
