Part of the World: Fractals of Ethics - A Drama in Three Acts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517148713)

Part of the World is the most extensive biographical account of Heinz von Foerster, the "Socrates of Cybernetics." The book reflects the significance of von Foerster's over-ninety-year-long life against the background of world and scientific history. In a fascinating dialog with Monika Broecker, who asks smart and empathic questions, von Foerster relates his life story and his most important thoughts. Many photographs are reproduced, some of them published here for the first time. This American edition is translated from German by Barbara Anger-D az and contains a forward by Ernst von Glasersfeld.
