{"product_id":"steps-to-an-ecology-of-mind","title":"Steps to an Ecology of Mind","description":"Gregory Bateson was a philosopher, anthropologist, photographer, naturalist, and poet, as well as the husband and collaborator of Margaret Mead. With a new foreword by his daughter Mary Katherine Bateson, this classic anthology of his major work will continue to delight and inform generations of readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This collection amounts to a retrospective exhibition of a working life. . . . Bateson has come to this position during a career that carried him not only into anthropology, for which he was first trained, but into psychiatry, genetics, and communication theory. . . . He . . . examines the nature of the mind, seeing it not as a nebulous something, somehow lodged somewhere in the body of each man, but as a network of interactions relating the individual with his society and his species and with the universe at large.\"—D. W. Harding, \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"[Bateson's] view of the world, of science, of culture, and of man is vast and challenging. His efforts at synthesis are tantalizingly and cryptically suggestive. . . .This is a book we should all read and ponder.\"—Roger Keesing, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Anthropologist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54218318741848,"sku":"9780226039053","price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780226039053.jpg?v=1778492724","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/steps-to-an-ecology-of-mind","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
