Ecology of Truth
Description
“…no one who has studied Gregory Bateson's work will be left untouched by what Jim has done here; that or they have failed utterly to appreciate the depth and direction of Gregory's work to begin with. Ecology of Truth is a remarkable deepening and broadening of Gregory's work. What Jim has done is brilliant without question.”
John Grinder: From the Forward to Ecology of Truth
How do people create truth for themselves and others? Do different versions of truth drive thinking and behavior? Do challenges to versions of truth precipitate crisis or opportunity? Does embracing versions of truth foreshadow peace or genocide?
In Ecology of Truth I view truth through a prism of an ecology of ideas and argue that truth is not an unmitigated and timeless constancy, but exists in an evolving mental or cognitive ecology that contributes to the survival of all living things.
