Notes

  • Ecology is the study of natural relationships

  • Ecology forces a shift in perspective from objects to relationships and processes

  • Systems thinkersrealized that laws of science were not enough, but we don't need anything from the outside: we have to understand the relationships of matter

  • Capra says that there are two approaches to science: "What is it made of?" and "What is the pattern?"

  • A pattern isn't material, it's a set of relationships

    • Marx would probably disagree with this

  • Capra believes that consciousness is a property of life

  • An insight of cyberneticswas noticing that life is made up of networks

  • Systems can correct themselves through the process of feedback
