Otopoyeziz teorisi ve gerçeklik sorunu

Otopoyeziz teorisi, önemli epistemolojik ve etik açılımları olan çağdaş bir idrak teorisidir. Maturana ve Varela tarafından geliştirilen bu teori, idrakin temelde dünyanın bizim dışımızda bir şeyin inikası (temsili) olmadığı görüşüne dayanmaktadır. Bu yazıda, söz konusu teorinin epistemolojik açılımları üzerinde durdum ve gerçeklik sorununun otopoyeziz teorisi önündeki en temel çıkmaz olduğunu ortaya koymaya çalıştım.

Autopoiesis theory and the problem of reality

Autopoiesis theory present a new view of cognition that has important episte mological and ethical implications. Maturana and Varela's theory include the central insight that cognition is not a representation of the "external" world. In this article, I treated epistemological implications of autopoiesis theory and tried indicate that in general reality and particularly divine reality is fundamental problem that autopoietic epistemology must overcome. Key Words: Maturana, autopoiesis, epistemology, reality.
