Der „Großer Smog“, Bitterfeld, Tschernobyl oder Deep Water Horizon: Jeder dieser Namen steht für eine der großen Umweltkatastrophen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts. Menschengemachter Klimawandel, Bodenversiegelung, Luft- und Wasserverschmutzung, Plastikmüll, Überdüngung, Artensterben oder Altlasten: Nie zuvor hat der Mensch so tief in die Natur eingegriffen und seine natürliche Umwelt so nachhaltig zerstört wie seit dem Beginn der Industrialisierung vor rund 200 Jahren. Inzwischen leben auf unserem Planeten gut 8 Milliarden Menschen, die mehr Ressourcen verbrauchen, als die Erde zur Verfügung stellen kann. 2024 war der so genannte Erdüberlastungstag am 1. August. Doch fing der Mensch tatsächlich erst im Industriezeitalter an, seine natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen und die Umwelt zu zerstören? Oder klagten nicht auch schon in der Antike die Bewohner von Rom über zu viel Lärm? Gab es auch schon vor den 1970er Jahren Umweltproteste oder so etwas wie eine Umweltbewegung?

In this week's Thursday Thought, we explore the crucial role of 'Helpful Cassandras'—individuals with heightened perceptions of change within business environments. Drawing on analogies from nature, quotes from visionaries like Warren Buffet and Andy Grove, and the concept of 'Umwelt' by Jakob von Uexküll, we discuss how different sensory frameworks shape our understanding of market shifts and disruptions. The episode highlights the importance of recognizing and supporting these perceptive individuals to stay ahead of crises and seize new opportunities. Don't miss out on the launch of The Reinvention Summit, featuring a workshop led by Rita McGrath on early warnings and trend detection.   00:00 Introduction: Focus on the Playing Field 00:30 The Role of Helpful Cassandras 00:46 Developing Organizational Antennas 01:53 Understanding Umwelt in Business 03:14 Rodents: Masters of Olfactory Perception 04:26 Economic Signals: Smelling the Sausage 06:45 The Cassandra Story: Andy Grove and the Helpful Cassandras 09:16 Embracing Early Warnings 10:51 Conclusion: Join The Reinvention Summit     Article: Navigating Change: The Hidden Scents, Sausages and Trip Wires  “Games are won by players who focus on the playing field - not by those whose eyes are glued to the scoreboard.” - Warren Buffet. Just as different species perceive their environments in unique ways, individuals within a business environment experience and interpret the world around them through their subjective lenses. Some of these individuals—like modern-day Cassandras—are particularly attuned to early signs of change or disruption, but their warnings are often ignored. Using the analogy of rodents' heightened sense of smell, we explore how these Helpful Cassandras can guide companies away from crisis or towards new opportunities.yet are frequently overlooked. Embracing their foresight is crucial to navigating an uncertain future. "The capacity of an organization to read its environment somewhere out there, which requires hiring some people whose sole job is to pay attention to the things that we're not paying attention to. If you think about any system, any [00:01:00] creature has only certain antennas. Which means that those antennas allow them to be in touch with this part of the world and not that part of the world. And they get in trouble when the world suddenly has something as a threat to them that they have no antennas for. So it's very important in an organization to develop the capacity here to have these kind of emergent antennas. And or to have at least parts of things that are paying attention to what people are not paying attention to, because, in most every case, when a crisis is coming, there are people who know nobody wants to listen to them because things are going well. And you certainly don't help your career by talking about them. So I think organizations, if they want to really be on the edge of things, have to build in as capacity here to surveil parts of environment. That it has not been paying very much attention to." - Stan Deetz, Innovation Show 559  Jakob von Uexküll was a pioneering biologist interested in how living beings perceive their environments. [00:02:00] He argued that organisms experience life through species-specific, subjective reference frames he called Umwelt (The German word for environment). Each species experiences the world through its own unique sensory lens. A tick, for instance, uses the smell of butyric acid to locate a mammalian host, while a star-nosed mole relies on touch to navigate underground. Despite sharing the same physical space, animals perceive their surroundings in vastly different ways. This idea of Umwelt applies not only to biology but also to how individuals in a business environment interpret signals of change. In the business world, we each operate with different sensory frameworks. Some colleagues are tuned into technological advances, others are adept at...

Offiziell heißt der Preis "Right Livelihood Award" und zeichnet Menschen oder Organisationen für herausragendes Engagement im Umweltschutz und für soziale Gerechtigkeit aus (Autorin: Sofie Donges)

Jakob von Uexküll wird in diesen Tagen 80 Jahre alt. Ein deutsch-schwedischer Visionär. Der Begründer des Alternativen Nobelpreises, mit dem Projekte der Hoffnung für eine bessere Welt ausgezeichnet werden. Er gründete 2007 den Weltzukunftsrat und ist einer großen Mutmacher unserer Zeit. Menschen wie ihn mit solchen Ideen brauchen wir heute, wo viele der Mut verlässt angesichts vieler Probleme der Welt. Wie können wir Mut und Zuversicht bewahren, was hilft im Alltag und was hilft im Blick auf die Welt? Wir gehen auf die Suche, fragen mutmachende Influencer und suchen nach modernen Propheten. Und wir probieren eine der vielen Apps aus, die uns täglich ihren mutmachenden Zuspruch auf das Handy senden.

Many animals play. But why? Play has emerged in species as distinct as rats, turtles, and octopi although they are separated by hundreds of millions of years of evolution. While some behaviors — hunting or mating for example — are straightforwardly adaptive, play is more subtle. So how does it help animals survive and procreate? Is it just fun? Or, as Huizinga put it, is it the primeval soil of culture? Our guest this week is Gordon Burghardt, a professor at The University of Tennessee and the author of the seminal The Genesis of Animal Play: Testing the Limits where he introduced criteria for recognizing animal play. Gordon has spent his career trying to understand the experience of animals. He advocates for frameworks such as critical anthropomorphism and the umwelt so we can judiciously adjust our perspectives. We can play at being other.This week Multiverses is brought to you by ... the internet.

Hi friends, we're on hiatus for the fall. To tide you over, we're putting up some favorite episodes from our archives. Enjoy! ---- [originally aired July 20, 2022] The world is bigger than you think. I don't mean geographically, though maybe that too. I mean in terms of its textures and sounds and smells; I mean in terms of its hues and vibrations. There are depths and layers to the world that we don't usually experience, that we might actually never be able to experience. Our senses just aren't wired to take it all in. We're simply not tuned to all the dimensions of reality's rich splendor. But there is a way we can appreciate these hidden dimensions: with a flex of the imagination, we can step into the worlds of other creatures; we can try out different eyes and noses; we can voyage into different perceptual universes. Or at least we can try.  My guest today is Ed Yong, author of the new book An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Arounds Us. Ed is a science writer for The Atlantic and the author of an exceptional earlier book on the microbiome called I Contain Multitudes. This new book tours the wide diversity of animal senses. It asks what it's like to be a bat, sure, but also what it's like to be a star-nosed mole, a manatee, or a mantis shrimp. Informed by some truly extraordinary science, the book considers how it might feel to electrolocate around the ocean, to hear through the threads of a web, or to be tugged by the earth's magnetic field. There's a lot of praise I could lavish on this book, but I'll just say this: it really makes you feel more alive. Reading it makes everything, in fact, seem more alive. It makes the world seem richer, more vivid, somehow more technicolor and finely textured. It makes you realize that every organism, all the creatures we share this planet with, possesses a kind of vibrant genius all their own. After this episode we will be on a short holiday, and then we'll be gearing up for Season 4. If you have guests or topics you want us to cover, please send us a note. And, of course: if you've enjoyed the show so far, we would be most grateful if you would leave us a rating or a review. I know I say this all the time, and it's probably a bit annoying: but it really, truly helps, and I would personally, very much appreciate it! Alright friends, now to my conversation with Ed Yong. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode is available here.   Notes and links 3:30 – One of our earlier audio essays—'Me, my umwelt, and I'—profiled von Uexküll and his concept of an Umwelt. 6:00 – The classic Nagel article ‘What is it like to be a bat?'; Mike Tomasello's recent variant, ‘What is it like to be a chimpanzee?', which we discussed just last episode. 10:00 – One of many articles by Ed about COVID-19. He was awarded a Pulitzer prize for his coverage of the pandemic. 14:30 – A popular article on proprioception. 19:00 – A research article on the evolution of opsin proteins. 20:00 – A primer on echolocation. 25:00 – A brief article on heat-sensitive pits in snakes. 26:30 – An academic article about the “star” of the star-nosed mole.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are graced by the presence of Dr. Michael J. Hathaway - Professor of Anthropology at Simon Fraser University (SFU), Associate Member of the School for International Studies, and the Director of SFU's David Lam Centre for Asian Studies. He is a 2022 Guggenheim Fellow and author of What a Mushroom Lives For (2022) and Environmental Winds (2013). Hathaway is a cultural anthropologist with two central interests. First, he is deeply interested in China's place in the modern world, looking at how little-known dynamics there have created world-spanning effects in surprising realms such as feminism, environmentalism, and Indigenous rights. His aim is to disrupt the typical assumptions that globalization emerges solely from the West. Second, Hathaway is doing what he can to foster a transformation in scientific understandings based on colonial assumptions of the natural world. For a quarter-century, Hathaway has lived in, worked, and traveled in China and increasingly in Japan, where he has explored the entangled and emerging worlds of transnational environmentalism and Indigenous rights. More recently, Hathaway has been exploring hidden histories of Indigenous-led activism across the Pacific Rim and how they have shaped the contemporary world. Today we're going to dive into his newest book, “What a Mushroom Lives For”.   TOPICS COVERED:   Environmentalism and Indigenous Rights in China   The Mushroom at the End of the World   Matsutake World Research Group   New Relationships with Biology    Human Exceptionalism   World Making   Thinking Like a Mushroom   Umwelt   Matsutake's Economic Ecosystem   The Yi People & Their Fungal Economy   Entanglements of Yaks, Mushrooms, Barley, Trees and Public Policy   How Matsutake Continually Shapes Cultures and Economies into the Future    Efforts to Cultivate Matsutake   Can Shifting Ecological Worldviews Shape the Future?   EPISODE RESOURCES:    Michael J.

Hold on to your pussyhats! The incredible Prof Susan Stryker joins me for this whirlwind through trans histories, nows, and futures, in which we talk about the power of narrative and affect in research and media and about what transness might teach us about possible ways of existing in the world. Susan shares rather entertaining insights from her ground-breaking publications and films, as well as the creative projects she is working on right now. We even get to hear about how she teaches a magnificent work of trans* literature we have discussed in Queer Lit episodes past… Don't wait for it!

Sami Kedon kirja Enemmän kuin sapiens pohtii muun muassa eri olentojen tapaa aistia ja kokea maailma. Hän viittaa Jacob von Uexküllin käsitteeseen Umwelt. Umwelt kuvaa kullekin eliölle tai lajille ominaista aistitodellisuutta, jonka sisällä yksilölliset kokemukset ja merkitykset muodostuvat. Päivän mietelauseen on valinnut Riikka Kaihovaara. Lukijana kuuluttaja Juha Salomaa.

Right then. Everything you perceive - including what climate change is to you -  is a construction of your brain.  And your brain is winging it.  That's the reality of human consciousness, and everything I thought it was is completely wrong. So how do our brains perceive things, like buses? Are there even buses? (Yes, there are buses.) Have our conscious noggins evolved enough to cope with the reality of climate change?   If not, er - can they, sharpish? And can the very fact that there even is consciousness guide how we might think about protecting life itself? Stand by for more 'Dave is patiently corrected by a genius' moments than usual, as I'm joined by Professor Anil Seth - cognitive neuroscientist, philosopher, and all-round wise and lovely chap. Anil's bestselling book, Being You, explains all about what consciousness is - what it is, how it works, and how it makes us perceive the world.  Find Anil on Twitter @anilkseth. Extra reading as highlighted by the owl noises: -- 19:42: Jakob von Uexküll and his idea of 'umwelt' - every animal inhabits a world of its own. -- 19:59: Ed Yong's book, 'An Immense World'. -- 24:30: Check out Anil's Perception Census.

Im Zuge der Bekämpfung der Corona-Pandemie ist nach dem Übergang vom Gesundheitswesen zur Gesundheitswirtschaft ein weiterer großer Schritt vollzogen worden: Dem Gesundheitswesen wurde eine politische Aufgabe zugeordnet, um es zur Ausübung politischer Macht zu gebrauchen. Im Zeichen der Corona-Pandemie wurden in der Folge sämtliche ehernen Grundsätze des Gesundheitswesens und der Humanmedizin gebrochen, so die These Hontschiks, die in der Soirée zu belegen ist. Dr. med. Bernd Hontschik war bis 1991 Oberarzt an der Chirurgischen Klinik des Städtischen Krankenhauses Frankfurt-Höchst und bis 2015 in eigener chirurgischer Praxis mitten in Frankfurt tätig. Hontschik ist Autor des Bestsellers „Körper, Seele, Mensch“, Herausgeber der Reihe „medizinHuman“ im Suhrkamp Verlag und Kolumnist der Frankfurter Rundschau. Er war langjähriges Vorstandsmitglied von medico international und der „Thure-von-Uexküll-Akademie für Integrierte Medizin“. Cover: Westend

How is it possible that you are—simultaneously—cells, atoms, a body, quarks, a component in an ecological network, a moment in the thermodynamic dispersal of the sun, and an element in the gravitational whirl of galaxies? Joshua DiCaglio's SCALE THEORY provides a foundational theory of scale that explains how scale works, the parameters of scalar thinking, and how scale reconfigures objects, subjects, relationships—while teaching us to think in terms of scale, no matter where our interests may lie. DiCaglio is joined here by author Dorion Sagan in a dazzling conversation about how a theory of scale might challenge perspectives on space and time, philosophy, innerness, psychedelics—with careful attention to scientific thinking as well as fascination and mysticism, much attuned to the way scale transforms both reality and ourselves.Joshua DiCaglio is assistant professor of English at Texas A&M University.Dorion Sagan is an award-winning writer, editor, and theorist. He is the son of the astronomer Carl Sagan and the biologist Lynn Margulis.References and citations:-Scale Theory (Joshua DiCaglio)-Cosmic Apprentice (Dorion Sagan)-Dazzle Gradually (Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan)-Cosmos (Carl Sagan)-Powers of Ten video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0)-Inner Life of a Cell video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKW4F0Nu-UY)-Jakob von Uexküll-Microcosmos (Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan)-Symbiotic Planet (Lynn Margulis)-Simon Levin-Samuel Butler-Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet (Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, Heather Anne Swanson, Elaine Gan, and Nils Bubandt, editors); Sagan has a contribution in this volume.-The Philosophy of Science Fiction: Henri Bergson and the Fabulations of Philip K.

U.S. Supreme Court Overturns Roe V. Wade The U.S. Supreme Court decided Friday to overturn Roe v Wade. While there have been rumblings that this decision was going to happen, it's still a shock to many people in the U.S. In early May, a draft opinion was leaked that had circulated among the court justices, showing a majority of them were in support of the overturn. This will have huge ripple effects throughout the U.S. when it comes to reproductive healthcare. A study from the University of California predicts a quarter of abortion clinics in the U.S. are likely to shut down under this rule, with the biggest impact in the South and Midwest. Guest host Maddie Sofia talks with SciFri radio producer Kathleen Davis about what's next for abortion rights in America and other science news of the week, including evidence of community transmission of polio in London and Canada's single-use plastic ban.   The Millions Of Ways Animals Sense The World A shark tracks its victims by smell, but uses the unmissable signal of a fish's electrical field to make its final strike. Fire-chaser beetles can detect the heat of distant forest fires with specialized cells in their heads. Baby tree frogs can detect the seismic signals of a striking snake from within the egg—and seem to hatch earlier in defense. And the prey-hunting visual system of one unassuming-looking Mediterranean fly, known as the killer fly, works faster than any other species we've observed. All of these are examples of an animal's umwelt, their specialized sensory bubble or window onto the world, as described by German biologist Jakob Johann von Uexküll over one hundred years ago. As science writer Ed Yong writes in his newest book, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal The Hidden Realms Around Us, our history of studying animals' umwelten has been fraught with hubris, misunderstandings, and mistakes. But bit by bit, we're learning to appreciate the truly spectacular perceptive abilities of the owl, the elephantfish, and the humble jumping spider. Yong joins guest host Maddie Sofia to share stories of amazing animal sensory abilities and the challenges of both imagining and describing these other realms using human-centric language. Plus, the uniquely human capacity to imagine other animals' umwelten, and how we can use it to make the world better for them.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Herzlich Willkommen zum ersten Tischgespräch-Podcast. Bei den Tischgesprächen handelt es sich um die Audiomitschnitte von Veranstaltungen und Lesungen in den Räumlichkeiten der Buchkomplizen. Das Gesundheitswesen in Deutschland ist gut. Es ist sogar so gut, dass es mit einer Pandemie fertig wird. Aber es ist auch in großer Gefahr, denn was wir in Deutschland derzeit erleben, ist nicht weniger als eine Zeitenwende: Krankenhäuser werden aus öffentlichem Besitz an private Klinikkonzerne verschleudert. Der Digitalisierung wird das Individuum Patient geopfert. Das Gesundheitssystem wird zu einem profitablen Herrschaftsinstrument umgebaut. Dr. med. Bernd Hontschik, geboren 1952 in Graz, war bis 1991 Oberarzt an der Chirurgischen Klinik des Städtischen Krankenhauses Frankfurt-Höchst und bis 2015 in eigener chirurgischer Praxis mitten in Frankfurt tätig. Hontschik ist Autor des Bestsellers »Körper, Seele, Mensch«, Herausgeber der Reihe »medizinHuman« im Suhrkamp Verlag und Kolumnist der Frankfurter Rundschau. Er ist langjähriges Vorstandsmitglied der »Thure-von-Uexküll-Akademie für Integrierte Medizin«, Beirat der Akademie Menschenmedizin und der Zeitschrift Chirurgische Praxis. Im Westend Verlag erschienen zuletzt »Erkranken schadet Ihrer Gesundheit« (2019) sowie, gemeinsam mit Claudia Hontschik, »Kein Örtchen. Nirgends« (2020). Hontschik lebt in Frankfurt am Main.

I säsongens tredje avsnitt träffar vi den praktiska visionären Ole von Uexküll från Right Livelihood, organisationen bakom det många känner till som det “alternativa nobelpriset”. Carl och Ole diskuterar tanken bakom priset och hur vi kan stärka de individer och samhälleliga krafter som kämpar för att lösa de stora globala utmaningarna utifrån ett holistiskt perspektiv. Varför vi behöver kombinera radikala visioner med praktiskt agerande för att göra stora samhällsförändringar och hur det kommer sig att så många ger upp just när arbetet är på väg att få sitt stora genombrott.

Es ist realistischerweise nicht denkbar und entspricht nicht unserer Alltags– und Lebenserfahrung, dass z. B. unser Körper eine Einschränkung, Behinderung oder Krankheit erleidet und nicht zugleich auch unsere Seele und unser Geist davon betroffen wären. Insofern dürfen wir uns hier gern an die Aussage des Begründers der wissenschaftlichen Psychosomatik, Thure von Uexküll (1908–2014), erinnern, der sagte, dass es keine Krankheit gibt, die nicht psychosomatisch zu begreifen ist. Diese Art der ganzheitlichen Betrachtung entspricht nicht dem, womit wir von klein auf konfrontiert sind und was wir vom Kindergarten, über die Grundschule, die weiterführenden Schulen, in der Lehre oder dem Studium als wünschenswertes Vorgehen vermittelt bekommen. Im Rahmen unserer Sozialisation wird uns fortlaufend die Differenzierung, Aufteilung und Fokussierung auf Teilbereiche als erstrebenswert vermittelt. Das Wissen und die damit verbundenen Lehrinhalte beziehen sich zunehmend auf Spezial-bereiche, die es zu erforschen und beherrschen gilt. Das Verbindende ist nicht der Schwerpunkt unseres Interesses, sondern das Besondere, Geteilte und Getrennte.

For the first episode of The Good Council, we're hearing from a man with a revolutionary idea: Jakob von Uexküll, founder of the World Future Council. Why did he set out to create an organisation with a focus on policies? What did he learn from his time on the international stage? And what are his hopes and fears for the future? A personal retrospective with inspiration and lessons for us all...

Love Matters MoreIn the New Testament gospels, Jesus presents love as the ultimate end of a moral life (Mark 12:30-31).Christianity Makes It Complex· After becoming a follower of Jesus, Christianity makes foggy to continue.o We were told to make sure we held all the correct beliefs and that we needed to remind everyone who disagreed that they were wrong, wrong, wrong.o We were told correct doctrine matters more.· People are forced to choose between truth and love. When Love Doesn’t Feel Like Love· We are told Christianity is about love, but most of the time it is about belief.o The fear about being wrong in our beliefs has crowded out the clear message of Jesus’ life and death – love matters more. o Christianity often claims “we are loving”; but it doesn’t feel that way.· There is a word for people telling you they love you while what you are experiencing is actually only pain and loneliness: ABUSE. Self-Deception in a Broken System· When love doesn’t feel like love, it is often justified by saying “just telling the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15).· Hopefully, the intention may be good, but it can easily become a sneaky way to tell people they are wrong as a means to feel more certain.Absolute Truth· Christians often are obsessed with “absolute truth”.o It is the idea that we can know with certainty everything there is to know in the world. o The problem becomes trusting in our beliefs rather than trusting in God.o We keep the creator captive to what we can comprehend. o Watching certainty slide into uncertainty is frightening for most people. · The problem becomes apparent when new “truth” is discovered. The UMWELT· In 1909, the biologist Jakob von Uexküll introduced the concept of the umwelt. o He wanted a word to express a simple (but often overlooked) observation: different animals in the same ecosystem pick up on different environmental signals.· Because of how their bodies are built, all animals see, hear, and feel the world very differently. o Dolphins can hear thousands of sounds we can’t hear. o Buzzards can see a mouse from 15,000 feet in the air. · The way the buzzard experiences the world will always be different from the way the dolphin experiences the world. · There is the world as it really exists out there (what we call reality), and then there is the world as someone, or something experiences it (umwelt).o We only experience “reality” through our umwelt. o Different cultures, personalities, experiences and even languages factor into the human umwelt. o Our limitations cause us to explore and experience the world very differently than other people do. · Ignorance limits how we experience the world too. o Every time we learn something new our world gets a little bit bigger and changes our umwelt. St. Paul’s Black Swan· Paul realized he did not have access to absolute truth (1 Corinthians 13:12).o He used to have certainty about what he believed (Philippians 3:4-6).o He believed he had God figured out.o He used violence to help convince people he was right (Acts 7-8).· Paul had an experience that expanded his umwelt (Acts 9:1-6).o His black swan so radically changed his world that his name was changed, and he ended giving up his social status of a rabbi and possibly a Pharisee. o Paul even was staking other people’s lives on the fact that he was right, and others were wrong. Paul’s Doxology to the Mystery of the Divine (Romans 11:33-36)· There is enough truth to guide us but not enough to think there are no surprises left. · What about the Bible? Doesn’t that give us access to absolute truth?· Faith is not certainty in what we know; it’s confidence in who we know.

I avsnittet diskuterar de samspelet mellan konkurrens- och upphandlingsregelverken, hur upphandlingsdokumentet kan användas för att främja konkurrensen och vilka leverantörssamarbeten som typiskt sett är tillåtna respektive otillåtna.

Welcome to the sixth episode of Many Minds! Today we have another ‘mini minds’ for you. We’ll be talking about umwelt theory—the idea that every species has its own self-world, its own private and peculiar mode of sensing and being. The theory was first put forth in the 1900s by a theoretical biologist named Jakob von Uexküll. He developed the umwelt concept in a short treatise that blended scientific and literary in striking and whimsical way. Remarkably—despite its age—umwelt theory is not dead yet. To the contrary, as you’ll hear, it’s seems more influential than ever. I’m not sure about you, but in my part of the world nature is coming alive right now. The mornings are thick with birdsong; everything is greener than it was a month ago. It’s a good time, in other words, to head outside—maybe to the nearest meadow, perhaps for a sun-dappled daydream, or a bit of frolic. And, while your out there, it’s a good time to think about the many umwelts that surround us. Thanks for listening friends! I hope you enjoy this one.   A text version of this "mini" is readable here.    Notes and links 2:04 – More info about Nagel’s famous paper. 2:40 – More info about Jakob von Uexküll. 3:05 – A link to the “little monograph” in which von Uexküll sets out his umwelt theory. A new English edition was released in 2010. 8:00 – Kindred spirits of umwelt theory include Maturana’s autopoeisis, J.J. Gibson’s ecological psychology, niche construction, and enactivism. See also this recent article, which discusses some of these links. 8:30 – A paper in which Donald Hoffman and colleagues lay out the “interface theory of perception.”   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute (DISI) (https://www.diverseintelligencessummer.com/), which is made possible by a generous grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation to UCLA. It is hosted by Kensy Cooperrider, with creative support from DISI Directors Erica Cartmill and Jacob Foster, and Associate Director Hilda Loury.

Jakob von Uexküll (1864–1944) is a founder of the field of behavioural physiology. He explored what makes ticks... tick. But how does Uexküll's work shed light on what makes us tick? For that and more, join Melanie and Na'ama in a soap bubble and go on a stroll. Bonus: Melanie's first ever introduction to Aussie icons Kath & Kim, and a dramatic reading of a tick sniffing out blood.

Jakob von Uexküll: Philosoph, Philatelist, Ökonom und Philanthrop. Vom Erlös einer geerbten Briefmarkensammlung gründete er 1980 die Right Livelihood Foundation, die Jahr für Jahr den alternativen Nobelpreis vergibt. Zu seinem 75. Geburtstag am 19. August wiederholen wir einen Talk mit ihm vom Februar 2008. Moderation: Christoph Lindenmeyer

John Wolseley is one of Australia’s most important artists.  He portrays the Australian landscape and its ecosystems from the roots of a tree to a whole floodplain; from trees, birds and fish to a tiny beetle. Using a variety of techniques, he says he creates a kind of inventory or document of the state of the earth, revealing both the energy and beauty of it. To do that he physically immerses himself in nature, spending long periods at a time camping and observing the country from Tasmania to central Australia to Arnhem land. Wolseley has had over 25 solo shows and the exhibition Midawarr | Harvest is currently travelling around the country. It is a collection of his works and those of aboriginal elder Mulkun Wirrpanda with whom he has developed a special bond over many years. His work is held in most important Australian art institutions and of course many private collections. But probably the most interesting part of our conversation is where he talks about literally collaborating with nature to produce his work. To hear the podcast interview press 'play' below the feature photo above. A short video with audio of John talking about his work and video of his Australian Galleries show can be seen on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel and is also below.

Den traditionella synen på naturen är naiv och romantisk, menar ekofilosofer som förespråkar "svart ekologi". Författaren och kritikern Dan Jönsson utforskar idéerna och efterlyser hopp om räddning. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Om ni har sett Werner Herzogs dokumentärfilm Grizzly Man så minns ni säkert scenen där Herzog sitter med hörlurar och lyssnar, uppenbart skärrad, på ljudinspelningen av hur äventyraren och björnmannen Tim Treadwell och hans flickvän blir överfallna och uppätna av en grizzlybjörn. Filmen skildrar hur Treadwell under de tretton år han levde med grizzlybjörnar i Alaska blev alltmer fientlig till den mänskliga civilisationen, folk som kände honom beskriver det som att han i grund och botten ville bli en björn, och i scenen där Herzog lyssnar på inspelningarna av hans död, detta andäktiga, tysta centrum i filmen, förstår vi hur drömmen på ett makabert sätt går i uppfyllelse. Makabert men logiskt: i Herzogs ögon är Treadwell en modig men romantisk fantast som inbillar sig att hans kärlek till björnarna är besvarad och att den på något vis ska göra honom till en del av naturen. Men, säger Herzog, i naturens ögon är människan fullkomligt likgiltig. Enda sättet att bli en del av den är som just ett av alla led i näringskedjan. För den svarta ekologin är den gröna idyllisk och naiv, den prackar på naturen en falsk moral. Och det blir vi ju alla förr eller senare. Rättare sagt: vi är det hela tiden. Redan i livet är våra kroppar som bekant fulla av bakterier och virus, parasiter och mitokondrier som när sig av vårt blod och våra utsöndringar. Och som vi i vår tur är beroende av. Det låter som självklarheter när man säger det, men det är det knappast. Treadwells tragedi är tvärtom, kan man säga, den yttersta konsekvensen av en förhärskande natursyn som drar en skarp gräns mellan människa och natur, och där naturen står för allt som den mänskliga civilisationen inte är: självreglerande, måttfull och harmonisk. Med andra ord sinnebilden för ett oförstört paradisiskt urtillstånd som vi människor har fjärmat oss från genom vår civilisation och som man inbillar sig på något vis kunna gå tillbaka till. Men varje sådant försök att ta sig tillbaka över civilisationsgränsen kan som Herzog ser det bara sluta på ett sätt när vi möter naturen sådan den verkligen är. Kaotisk, våldsam och totalt livsfarlig. Antropocen alltså idén att människans inverkan på jorden är så avgörande att den har gett upphov till en ny geologisk epok Lite grovt skulle de här olika synsätten kunna sammanfatta skillnaden mellan det som kallas grön och svart ekologi. För den traditionella, gröna ekologin, som idag genomsyrar allt från populärkultur till administrativt kretsloppstänkande och politiska hållbarhetsvisioner, framstår naturen lite som en mänsklig superkropp det är vår uppgift att ta hand om ungefär som vi sköter våra egna kroppar; naturens kropp kan bli sjuk men om vi släpper ut lite mindre rök frisknar den till och får lättare att andas. Den gröna ekologin noterar sjuka träd, oljeskadade fåglar och döda fiskar, den värnar om valar och rödlistade insekter men, säger den svarta ekologin: har den någon medkänsla med våra virus? Har den någon blick för den natur som inte är grön och god och grann, för isvidderna och havsdjupen, för tarmfloran och cancercellerna, för geologins mörker och rymdens svarta oändlighet? För den svarta ekologin är den gröna idyllisk och naiv, den prackar på naturen en falsk moral och ser bara det som är i ögonhöjd, det oändligt smala ekologiska segment där vi själva råkar hålla till. Den är antropocentrisk, och därmed förljugen. Den svarta ekologin vill vända på kikaren. Den amerikanske ekofilosofen Timothy Morton, en av rörelsens ledande teoretiker, argumenterar i sin bok Dark Ecology för en natursyn som på allvar försöker ta in vad vetenskapen säger. För Morton är begreppet antropocen alltså idén att människans inverkan på jorden är så avgörande att den har gett upphov till en ny geologisk epok det som kan tvinga människan ut ur den antropocentriska bubblan. Insikten om klimatförändringarna har redan fått oss att börja se inlandsisarna som en del av ekosystemen, och medan tiden för tvåprocentsmålet rinner ut, och medan det långsamt börjar gå upp för oss att vi befinner oss mitt i en ekologisk förintelse där 50 procent av världens djurliv har försvunnit på 40 år, enligt Världsnaturfonden jag måste upprepa den siffran: hälften av alla djur på jorden har alltså försvunnit på bara 40 år så stiger känslan av uppgivenhet inför vad vi egentligen kan göra åt saken. Antropocen, förklarar Morton, tvingar oss att se oss själva utifrån, hur vi verkar och ingår i ett sammanhang från det oändligt lilla till det obegripligt stora. Och det är perspektiv som skapar förvirring och obehag. När jag till exempel startar motorn till min bil är jag medveten om att jag därmed bidrar till växthuseffekten. Men jag är samtidigt lika medveten om att det rent statistiskt inte har någon som helst betydelse om just jag startar motorn eller låter bli. Visst är det bra med solceller; problemet är att de låter oss fortsätta skapa tillväxt och förödelse. Denna giftiga, paradoxala kombination av insikt och vanmakt är själva kärnan i den svarta ekologin. Dess grundstämning är i sin essens melankolisk, rentav depressiv. Antropocen, skriver Morton, tvingar oss till nya perspektiv inte bara i rummet, utan också i tiden. Den gröna ekologin har låtit oss leva kvar i vår mänskliga tidsbubbla fast geologins och astronomins enorma tidsrymder är välkända sedan länge, och tidsuppfattningen hos sniglar och kampfiskar var något som den tyske forskaren Jakob von Uexküll resonerade kring redan på trettiotalet. Men antropocen tvingar oss att se oss själva samtidigt som bakterievärdar, individer och samhällen och som art, vilket skapar en helt annan tidshorisont. Vi ser att mänsklig tid och geologisk tid är sammantvinnade. Den gröna ekologin må vara naiv och romantisk, men den bär i alla fall på ett hopp om räddning och en uppmaning till handling. Följaktligen förklarar Morton att när han skriver nu eller nutid menar han de senaste tolvtusen åren, ungefär. Antropocen är ingenting som uppstod med industrialismen eller atombomben det är konsekvensen av en utveckling som påbörjades när den förste jordbrukaren satte sin plog i jorden. Den neolitiska revolutionen drev igång en process som vi människor gärna vill se som en historia om utveckling och framsteg men som sedd ur den svarta ekologins artperspektiv snarare visar sig som en sorts biologisk algoritm. Morton kallar den för agrilogistics, alltså en agrar logik som inbegriper vissa beteenden och tankemönster vi fortfarande sitter fast i. Industrialismen var bara en tempohöjning i processen, och dagens storskaliga planer för att dämma upp klimatförändringarna blir bara ytterligare bränsle på den agrilogistiska brasan. Visst är det bra med solceller; problemet är att de låter oss fortsätta skapa tillväxt och förödelse. Plastflaskorna vi pantar blir råvaror i en global kretsloppsindustri som får katastrofen att rulla vidare. Deprimerande, var ordet. Och nej tyvärr, jag vet inte vad vi ska göra. Jag tror inte Timothy Morton vet det heller. Den gröna ekologin må vara naiv och romantisk, men den bär i alla fall på ett hopp om räddning och en uppmaning till handling som den svarta ekologin med sina hisnande perspektiv egentligen bara har ett cyniskt leende till övers för. Morton talar yvigt men vagt om det han kallar ecognosis, ekologisk insikt, och om samexistens mellan arterna, men vad det innebär i hård praktik och hur det skulle kunna bryta den tolvtusenåriga algoritmen står skrivet i stjärnorna, snarare får jag en känsla av att det handlar om att hålla hårt i hatten och göra det bästa av katastrofen. Ingen insikt jag vill ge i julklapp till mina barn precis, men dessvärre är jag rädd att det ligger något i den. Om vi smyger tyst och springer fort kanske vi klarar oss. Björnen sover, än så länge.

An important theoretical underpinning of biosemiotics is the semiotic philosophy of American scientist and semiotician Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) and his observation that ‘the universe is perfused with signs’. Semiotic biology was born from a similar insight, that living systems – cells, organisms, and ecologies – are not mechanical but are scaffolded by semiosis. Semiotic systems characterise life throughout. Sign relations are responsible for the efficacy of biological systems as much as they are for abstract human conceptual systems. All obey the same triadic Peircean semiotic logic. As Norbert Wiener long ago implied about information in cybernetic systems, such informational, or in living things semiotic, relations require material bearers (codes and channels), but are, themselves, immaterial. All sign relations are manifested in von Uexküllian semiotic species umwelten, and while these (including the human) are thus necessarily incomplete models of reality (there being, as Thomas Nagel has noted, ‘no view from nowhere’), sign relations nonetheless form a semiotic bridge between mind and nature, subject and object, and intentional concept and reality. This is the case for every living organism: semiotic relations bridge the supposed gap between mind and body, culture and nature, and idealism and realism.

Avaldamiseks mittemõeldud päevikud on tihti suurepärased ajalooallikad. Vigala mõisniku, 1793. aastal sündinud Boris von Uxkulli päevikutes avaneb lugejale pilt nii Napoleoni sõdadele kui ka autori õpingutele ja reisidele tolleaegses Euroopas. Noore ratsaväeohvitserina osaleb von Uxkull verises ja kurnavas sõjas, milletaolist Euroopa pole veel näinud. Ent sõjakoleduste kõrval suudab autor näha muudki ning päevikutes tõuseb oluliseks teemaks ka autori suhtlus vastassugupoolega ning sellega kaasnevad arvukad seiklused. (Boris Uxkull ja Jürgen-Detlev von Uexküll. Sõjas ja armastuses. Boris Uxkulli päevaraamat Napoleoni ajastust. Toimetab Küllo Arjakas.)

Mitschnitt vom Energiekongress 2014 - Impulsvortrag von Jakob von Uexküll, Grüner und Vorstandsvorsitzender World Future Council und Begründer des alternativen Nobelpreises. Thema: Die Verantwortung zur Energiewende

Während die konventionelle moderne Medizin ihr Selbstverständnis und ihre Praxis weitgehend am Vorbild der konventionellen Naturwissenschaft orientiert, erhebt die Homöopathie den Anspruch, Patienten nicht reduktionistisch, sondern individuell und ganzheitlich zu erfassen und zu behandeln. Gemäss der Lehre Samuel Hahnemanns (1755–1843) ist dazu statt des materialistisch-mechanistischen ein semiotisch-phänomenologischer Ansatz anzuwenden. Während die Anweisungen Hahnemanns für die Praxis klar, deutlich und brauchbar sind, gibt es immer noch keine schlüssige und allgemeingültige Theorie der Homöopathie. Die methodologischen Eigenheiten der Homöopathie lassen sich allerdings mithilfe des semiotischen Modells des Menschen konzeptualisieren und erklären, das Thure von Uexküll (1908–2004) für die Psychosomatik ausgearbeitet hat und das auf der Lehre Jakob von Uexkülls (1864–1944) von den Funktionskreisen und spezifischen Umwelten beruht. Wird der Patient als biopsychosoziale Einheit mit seiner individuellen Wirklichkeit begriffen, lassen sich Begriffe und Konzepte wie die Verstimmung der Lebenskraft oder Idiosynkrasien, aber auch Arzneimittelwirkungen und die Arzt-Patient-Beziehung auf eine moderne, wissenschaftlich begründete und anschlussfähige Weise verstehen.

Since the nineteenth century the theory of conventional medicine has been developed in close alignment with the mechanistic paradigm of natural sciences. Only in the twentieth century occasional attempts were made to (re)introduce the ‘subject’ into medical theory, as by Thure von Uexküll (1908–2004) who elaborated the so-called biopsychosocial model of the human being, trying to understand the patient as a unit of organic, mental, and social dimensions of life. Although widely neglected by conventional medicine, it is one of the most coherent, significant, and up-to-date models of medicine at present. Being torn between strict adherence to Hahnemann’s original conceptualization and alienation caused by contemporary scientific criticism, homeopathy today still lacks a generally accepted, consistent, and definitive theory which would explain in scientific terms its strength, peculiarity, and principles without relapsing into biomedical reductionism. The biopsychosocial model of the human being implies great potential for a new theory of homeopathy, as may be demonstrated with some typical examples.

In 1980 Jakob von Uexküll founded with his own resources the Right Livelihood Award, also known as the Alternative Nobel Prize, which is awarded each year in the Swedish Parliament in Stockholm.Since 1980, 133 people and organisations from 57 countries have been recognised in this way for their great commitment and selfless service to a better world.In 2007, after many years’ preliminary work, Jakob von Uexküll also founded The World Future Council. The Council comprises 50 internationally known figures, including several winners of the Alternative Nobel Prize. They work as the “voice of future generations” to ensure that we pass on a healthy world worth living in, to our descendants. Listen to a very connected person describe how the privileged elite are grimly holding on to the old paradigm, when we urgently need to be working towards a more sustainable and just world view. New Zealand's current stance regarding Co2 emissions is being seen as outrageous for a country with such a clean green image and that the old ways of activism, including civil disobedience and communicating personally with our elected representatives are as valid today as they were in the past. http://www.rightlivelihood.org           http://www.worldfuturecouncil.org

Wie betreiben wir Wissenschaft? Welche Folgen hat das für die Ergebnisse? Und was machen wir damit? Die Ethik eines Arztes wird durch sein Menschenbild bestimmt. Das Menschenbild wird sehr prominent bestimmt von der Wissenschaft. Und die Wissenschaft wiederum wird bestimmt von dem Bild, das wir vom Menschen haben. Seit René Descartes herrscht das mechanistische Menschenbild vor, auch in der Medizin. Thure von Uexküll plädiert nachdrücklich dafür, diese Selbstbeschränkung zu überwinden. Als Begründer der psychosomatischen Medizin und Mitbegründer der Biosemiotik stand Thure von Uexküll (1908 – 2004) in der Nachfolge seines Vaters Jakob von Uexküll, welcher den Begriff der Umwelt in die Biologie eingeführt hatte.
