How did you hear about PCP? Search on internet
Please take at least one page to describe your work
and how it might relate to PCP:
I am 32 years old, and my formal education is in agricultural science,
though with an unescapeable philosophical bias. My masters dissertation was
a philosophical inquiry into the nature of origin or genesis in the
ontological sense, asking questions of evolution and ecology in the spirit
of Gregory Bateson. Since then I have been working on systems science in
agriculture, passing across various systems theories, statistics and
probability theory, systems experimentation, the objecivity question,
qualitative research and much more.
In 1992 I started a PhD project on the foundations of systems research.
Underway this project of mine has become more and more 'foundational'.
Half a year ago I decided to follow my deepest conviction, and head straight
for the metaphysical foundations of our 'western' way of thinking. This
involves not only a critique of the dualistic worldview (going back to the
greek roots), but an attempt at formulating an 'alternative' metaphysics, as
at least an example of the possibility of a fundamental change in thougt and
worldview.
Upon seeing the ideas on Principia Cybernetica, I find some consensus, and
some disagreement. I would like to investigate this further by joining your
mailing list.
Yours
