- Abstract
Context • Humberto Maturana has generated a coherent and extensive explicatory matrix that encompasses his research in neurophysiology, cognition, language, emotion, and love. Purpose • Can we formulate a map of Maturana's work in a manner that is consistent with the systemic matrix it represents and that serves as an aid for understanding Maturana's philosophy without reifying its representation? Method • Our arguments are based on experience gained from teaching and presentations. Results • We present a map that that represents Maturana's main contributions as clusters of notions clustered according to how we see them to be related to each other as a projection of a matrix of ideas onto a two-dimensional space. We claim that there are many paths through these clusters of ideas. Though ideas relevant to individuals are obtained from various partial perspectives, a deep understanding of any element is dependent on an understanding of the whole matrix. Furthermore, we summarize the contributions to this special issue on Maturana.
