The Origin of Humanness in the Biology of Love
The central concern of this book is us human beings. The authors' basic question is: ‘How is it that we can live in mutual care, have ethical concerns, and at the same time deny all that through the rational justification of aggression?' The authors answer this basic question indirectly by providing a look into the fundaments of our biological constitution, concentrating on what they term emotioning, that is the flow of emotions in daily life that guides the flow of the systemic conservation of a manner of living. Maturana and Verden-Zöller claim that the fundamental emotion that gave rise to humans as sapient languaging beings was love, and that this remains our fundament even when other emotions become socially prevalent.
Amor y juego
En este libro, escrito originalmente en 1990, Humberto Maturana Romesín señala que la existencia humana, como la existencia de cualquier organismo, ocurre en el espacio relacional como un modo de vivir y convivir que se conserva de generación en generación de manera biológico/cultural. Esto quiere decir, en nuestro caso, que, aunque desde el punto de vista biológico nuestra identidad animal es Homo sapiens, en nuestra existencia humana nuestra identidad es relacional y ocurre en el espacio que surge con otros en nuestro convivir en el lenguajear, y existimos como serres que generan los mundos que viven como espacios culturales o redes de conversaciones en el entrelazamiento de coordinaciones de haceres y emociones. Una cultura, dice Humberto Maturana Romesín, es una red cerrada de conversaciones que constituye un modo de convivir definido en cada caso como una configuración particular de entrelazamiento del lenguajear y el emocionear. Es desde aquí que el cambio cultural -para él- ocur ...

The innovative text bridges the divide between community development ideas and practice and considers how to bring about transformative social change.
Language and Decolonisation
Language and Decolonisation is the first collection to bring together views from across scholarly communities that are committed to the agenda of decolonising knowledge in language study. Edited by leading figures in the field, the chapters offer new insights on how ‘decolonising’ can be adopted as a methodology for charting the next steps in solving practical language-related problems in educational and related social policy areas. Divided into two sections, the book covers the coloniality of language, the materiality of culture and colonial scripts, the decolonisation imperative, multilingualism discourse and decolonisation, and decolonising languages in public discourse. With 20 chapters authored by experts from across the globe, this pioneering collection is an essential reference and resource for advanced students, scholars, and researchers of language and culture, sociolinguistics, decolonial studies, racial studies, and related areas.
Poetry of the Earth: Mapuche Trilingual Anthology
Mapuche poetry has flourished in recent decades and is now one of the most compelling neighbourhoods of contemporary Latin American literature. Incredibly, however, much of it remains untranslated into English. Not only does this anthology correct the situation, it goes far beyond the scale of anything published before. Some of the most important and exciting Mapuche poets are gathered here. Providing versions of each poem in Mapudungun, Spanish and English, Poetry of the Earth demonstrates how Mapuche poetry is so much more than just a collection of poems, or an act of writing. Rather, it is an expression of a long, rich and dynamic history, which at different times and places has made use ...
The Fiction of a Thinkable World
A philosophical examination of how people think, drawing on Western and Eastern examples.
Nurturing Our Humanity
Nurturing Our Humanity offers a new perspective on our personal and social options in today's world, showing how we can build societies that support our great human capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity. It brings together findings--largely overlooked--from the natural and social sciences debunking the popular idea that we are hard-wired for selfishness, war, rape, and greed. Its groundbreaking new approach reveals connections between disturbing trends like climate change denial and regressions to strongman rule. Moving past right vs. left, religious vs. secular, Eastern vs. Western, and other familiar categories that do not include our formative parent-child and gender relati...
The Art of Compassionate Business
There are several well-ingrained assumptions regarding the dynamics of work and business activities, which can be refuted. Some examples of these widespread assumptions in business and work environments are employees being viewed as commodities, competitors perceived as threats, companies’ resources seen as limited, and customers perceived as scarce and difficult. All this leads to the question: "Is there a way to perform business activities more humanely?" The second edition of this book challenges the reader to change the way they perform in business situations and become more focused on the human aspects of business activities. The users of this knowledge and those affected by them will...
Dwelling in a New World
Dwelling in a new world introduces you to a new technological concept. This technology obliterates linearity. Answering machines, texting, e-mails, TV programming, Google searches, computer programs, and other systems and schedulers as we know them will disappear. In their place, a virtual world appears. Virtual companions support what is important to you, anticipate your needs, and acquire support form necessary resources. Does this sound like fiction? Hardly. We have the technology, but it is currently designed to be something separate from us - as devices, programs, and tools we must use.
Roots and Collapse of Empathy
Spanning from care-giving infants and civilian rescuers risking their life to the collapse of empathy in agents of torture and extinction, this unique book deals with and illustrates the altruistic best and atrocious worst of human nature. It begins with infant roots of empathy, then turns to the neurosocial support of empathic participation, and to the nature and nurture of good and ill. It raises questions about how abuse may invite vicious circles of re-enactment, and as to how ordinary people may come to commit torture and mass murders, such as the Auschwitz doctors and the sole terrorist attacking Norway on July 22, 2011.
