The Greek edition of Gregory Bateson's monumental work is a publishing event! Not only because it is the life's work of one of the greatest holistic thinkers of the 20th century, but also because it is the first of his books to be published in Greek.

The author attempts "to define the nature of the interface between the realm of the mind and physical reality," building a new way of thinking that he calls "the ecology of the mind." In contrast to Freudian psychology, which expanded the notion of the mind within the individual, Bateson extends the mind beyond the individual. The mind is seen as inherent in the broader biological system and in the total evolutionary structure. "We are no longer talking about the survival of an organism enclosed by skin, but about the survival of ideas in circuit."

This invaluable book concerns not only those involved in the fields to which it refers, such as anthropology, psychiatry, biological evolution, genetics, epistemology, and more, but also a broader reading public, in order to become acquainted with an innovative way of thinking that opens new perceptual fields. Bateson offers the resonant challenge of a disruptive, ecological way of thinking, so that each of us can understand, reflect, and redefine ourselves and the world of which we are a part, and share with it the vision of a world where "wisdom" prevails and "love will survive."
