Frasi di Gregory Bateson

Gregory Bateson è stato un antropologo, sociologo e psicologo britannico, il cui lavoro ha toccato anche molti altri campi .

Varrebbe forse la pena considerarlo provocatoriamente prima di tutto un filosofo, nel senso "classico" del termine, per la sua inimitabile capacità di passare da un campo all'altro dello scibile umano creando sintesi originali spesso descritte come olistiche. Due delle sue opere più influenti sono Verso un'ecologia della Mente , e Mente e Natura . Bateson era figlio del famoso genetista William Bateson ed è stato, dal 1935, il terzo marito di Margaret Mead, da cui nel 1939 ebbe una figlia, Mary Catherine Bateson, scrittrice e antropologa.

In vita, Bateson era famoso soprattutto per aver sviluppato la teoria del doppio legame per spiegare la schizofrenia.

Gregory Bateson Frasi e Citazioni

Gregory Bateson: Frasi in inglese

“Schizophrenia--its nature, etiology, and the kind of therapy to use for it--remains one of the most puzzling of the mental illnesses. The theory of schizophrenia presented here is based on communications analysis, and specifically on the Theory of Logical Types. From this theory and from observations of schizophrenic patients is derived a description, and the necessary conditions for, a situation called the "double bind"--a situation in which no matter what a person does, he "can't win."”

It is hypothesized that a person caught in the double bind may develop schizophrenic symptoms.

“The playful nip denotes the bite, but it does not denote what would be denoted by the bite.”

Steps to an Ecology of Mind (1972)

“Earlier fundamental work of Whitehead, Russell, Wittgenstein, Carnap, Whorf, etc., as well as my own attempt to use this earlier thinking as an epistemological base for psychiatric theory, led to a series of generalizations: That human verbal communication can operate and always does operate at many contrasting levels of abstraction. These range in two directions from the seemingly simple denotative level (“The cat is on the mat”). One range or set of these more abstract levels includes those explicit or implicit messages where the subject of discourse is the language. We will call these metalinguistic (for example, “The verbal sound ‘cat’ stands for any member of such and such class of objects”, or “The word, ‘cat’ has no fur and cannot scratch”). The other set of levels of abstraction we will call metacommunicative (e. g., “My telling you where to find the cat was friendly”, or “This is play”). In these, the subject of discourse is the relationship between the speakers. It will be noted that the vast majority of both metalinguistic and metacommunicative messages remain implicit; and also that, especially in the psychiatric interview, there occurs a further class of implicit messages about how metacommunicative messages of friendship and hostility are to be interpreted.”
