  Conversations for skeptics
  
  How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions or do they correspond to an external reality? Is it possible to know the truth?
  
  These are some of the questions that are discussed in this book by physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and media studies scholar Bernhard Poerksen. Together they explore the limits of our cognitive capacities; they debate the apparent objectivity of our sensual perception and the consequences of "truth terrorism"; and they talk about the relationship between knowledge and ethics, sight and insight.
  The authors:
  Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) completed his studies of physics in Vienna and worked at different research labs before emigrating to the United States in 1949. In 1957, at the University of Illinois, he established the Biological Computer Lab (BCL) – the cradle of the epistemology that would later cause a stir under the label of "constructivism." The focus was on analyzing the logical and methodological problems that in evitably arise when one seeks to know knowledge. He is the author of numerous books, including Understanding Understanding: Essays on Cybernetics and Cognition.
  Bernhard Poerksen is professor of media studies at the University of Tübingen with a particular research interest in the new media age. His books about systemic thinking have been translated into many languages. In 2008 he was voted "Professor of the Year" in honor of his teaching. His most recent book publications in English include From Being to Doing: The Origins of the Biology of Cognition (with Humberto Maturana), The Unleashed Scandal: The End of Control in the Digital Age (with Hanne Detel), and Digital Fever: Taming the Big Business of Disinformation.

  During December 2005, there was an investigation that was conducted at the Seoul National University (SNA), South Korea had observed that the scientist named Hwang Woo Suk was responsible for fabricating the results on the deriving of the patient-matched stem cells out of the cloned embryos. This was the major setback in this field. During May 2005, Hwang made an announcement that a major advance in the creation of the human embryos in using the various cloning methods as well as in the isolation of human stem cells out of the cloned embryos. The series of developments and the advancements have contributed significantly to the existing debate during the 109th Congress upon the ethical and moral implications of cloning of the human beings. The medical scientists in various other labs, like the University of California at San Francisco and the Harvard University intended to produce the cloned embryos of human beings such as for deriving the stem cells for several medical researches on Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and several other diseases and illness.
