  TRUTH AND TRUST: Three conversations between Heinz von Foerster and Humberto Maturana(2000)


  Our inaugural video product was generated by a joint venture between the American Society for Cybernetics and Change Management Systems. It was co-produced by Pille Bunnell and Barabara Vogl, with video recording and editing by Mark Price. The video was recorded in May 2000.

The video consists of three conversations of approximately 25 minutes each between Heinz and Humberto:
 

Truth and Trust
What are we doing when we verify and when we validate a statement? Does verification establish truth? Is there a role for trust in science?
 
Future to be Determined
The biology of cognition reveals that the student learns the teacher. If this is the case, what must the teacher do to teach well? What matters in education nowadays?
 
The Matrix that Embeds
We may look at objects or at the relationship between them, but either implies making a distinction. What is the ground from which we make distinctions?

For pricing and information on how to order this video, please consult the ASC Bookstore.
