Ontology of complexity: A reading of Gregory Bateson

This essay on Gregory Bateson attempts a reading of his thought from a purely philosophical-ontological standpoint. The epistemological issues raised by Bateson are interpreted as intimately connected to Heideggerâ€™s problem of overcoming of metaphysics and question concerning the Sense of Being. Batesonâ€™s setting of mind/body question, his formal definition of the concept of â€˜mindâ€™ and his interpretation of phenomena related to the sacred and the functioning of mental systems, are assumed as conceptual tools exceeding the implicit assumptions of substantialist and dualistic onto-theo-logy belonging to the Western tradition. Furthermore, in the appendix Batesonâ€™s notion of â€˜sacredâ€™ is taken as the key point for a possible postmodern determination of the essence of religion.
