Humberto Maturana and the sense of the human

Abstract

In the last course of the Reality Studies Service (SER), one of the authors and texts that most questioned us and made us reflect was the book by Chilean biologist and philosopher Humberto Maturana, El Sentido de lo Humano. His thinking is very original and his contributions shed light on all areas of life. This author is one of those who helps us the most in this time of so many questions before a new world. I remember with joy the moments of conversation with the students and the enthusiasm that each paragraph of his book generated in us. I share here some of the concepts that we managed to decipher and discern together and that we consider vitally useful.
