What is it about?

Maturana and Varela’s (1980) autopoietic theory has taught me that the evolution of species and processes of “struggle for life” cannot be understood based upon the distinction of objectivity versus subjectivity. Those concepts do not exist in nature and do not make any sense as natural phenomena. What makes more sense in helping us understand the ways in which autonomous living systems (including human beings) are structurally composed is the concept of meaning.
