Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “In Maturana’s Wake: The Biology of Cognition’s Legacy and its Prospects” by Randall Whitaker. Abstract: I seek to build upon Whitaker’s progress in bringing insights from Maturana’s corpus to bear in consensual operational domains. By connecting Whitaker’s methods to the work of other cyberneticians and offering an approach to systemic racism as a “test-case,” it seeks to connect Whitaker’s work to an emergent critical cybernetics that shares similar concerns.
