  "Easy and enjoyable to read, without loss of scientific and philosophical depth and rigor. … The reader will find the book difficult to put down."
  
  Bernd R. Hornung, Journal of Sociocybernetics
  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.

  The Myths of Creation - Stories...

  The story of creation is one of the most profound and enduring themes in human history. Across every culture and civilization, humanity has sought to understand its place in the cosmos by asking the same timeless questions: Where did the world come from? How were humans formed? What forces or beings shaped the universe? The answers to these questions, though infinitely varied, have been passed down through myths—narratives that blend imagination, culture, and spirituality to explain the mysteries of existence.  
    
  Creation myths are more than just stories; they are reflections of how humans see themselves and their relationship to the universe. Some cultures envision a creator as a benevolent being bringing life into existence through love and care, while others see the world as the result of chaos, conflict, or sacrifice. Some myths place the origin of the cosmos in an act of divine speech, a sacred breath, or the unfolding of an egg, while others suggest that the universe emerged accidentally, out of chaos or chance. These narratives often reflect the values, fears, and aspirations of the societies that tell them, offering a glimpse into their worldview and the way they interpret their surroundings.  
    
  Despite their differences, creation myths share common themes that highlight the universal nature of human curiosity and imagination. The struggle between order and chaos, the role of divine beings, the cycle of creation and destruction—these motifs appear repeatedly, connecting disparate cultures in their quest to explain the unknown. Whether told by the ancient Greeks, the Norse, the Hindus, or the Aztecs, these stories often reveal a shared longing to make sense of existence, to explain the unexplainable, and to give meaning to life’s beginnings.
