Consequently, on the biological level, anything that manages to survive is 'adapted' to the environment in which it happens to find itself living. Once this is understood, it follows that what matters is not to match an ontic world, but to fit into the experiential one, in the sense of being able to avoid whatever obstacles or traps it might present. Taken out of the biological context and applied to cognition, this means that 'to know' is not to possess true representations of reality, but rather to possess ways and means of acting and thinking that allow one to attain the goals one happens to have chosen. To know, thus, is to have viable procedures or, as Maturana said “to operate adequately in an individual or cooperative situation” (1988, p.53).","highlights":Ӷ^"jQuery321070364888847511052":^°°,^"jQuery321070364888847511052":^°°Ӻ,"text":"","category":"Argumentation2","data_creacio":1580153907981° 2020-01-27T20:39:46Z 2458876.3609491 2020-01-27T19:39:55Z 2458876.3193866 Text:The Radical Constructivist View of Science/Xx8dv85g28
