Gregory Bateson

Anthropologist / Biologist / Film Director / Psychologist / Writer | * 05/09/1904 († 76, 07/04/1980) | Grantchester (United Kingdom (UK))
Gregory Bateson (9 May 1904 – 4 July 1980) was an English anthropologist, social scientist, linguist, visual anthropologist, semiotician, and cyberneticist whose work intersected that of many other fields. His writings include Steps to An Ecology of Mind (1972) and Mind and Nature (1979). In Palo Alto, California, Bateson and in these days his non-colleagues developed the double-bind theory of schizophrenia. Bateson's interest in systems theory forms a thread running through his work. He was one of the original members of the core group of the Macy conferences in Cybernetics (1941–1960), and the later set on Group Processes (1954–1960), where he represented the social and behavioral sciences. He was interested in the relationship of these fields to epistemology. His association with the editor and author Stewart Brand helped widen his influence. ()
