booklogging

It'd be a useful discipline for me to log and write about the books I read. A blog might help in that discipline and -who knows?- may be useful to ... you?

The Tree of Knowledge: Biological Roots of Human Understanding: Books: Humberto R. Maturana,Francisco J. Varela

Good overview of the evolutionary perspectives on knowing. The importance of this book is the model developed strongly questions a model of perception and epistemology of representation. Well written with the interested amateur in mind

I'm linking it with Philosophy in the Flesh: The Embodied Mind and Its Challenge to Western Thought in that it is about rooting knowing in embodied human experience.
