One of the most inspiring and influential people I've read. Many of the ideas he expressed are more commonplace as of the last five or ten years though—embodied cognition and autopoiesis are part of the conceptual underpinning of all sorts of modern perspectives and movements.

Less often recommended, this book shaped a lot of my thinking: https://www.amazon.com/Tree-Knowledge-Biological-Roots-Under...

Very good book. Autopoiesis, co-evolution – really interesting concepts

Looks interesting. I'd be interested in hearing how it shaped your thinking, or what parts of your thinking.
