The Evolution Of Worlds
Natural Drift, Inverse Darwinism, and the Biology of LoveBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length1h 32m
About this audiobook
What must a civilization conserve if it is to remain capable of becoming otherwise? The Evolution of Worlds brings Maturana's autopoiesis, natural drift, structural coupling, emotioning, languaging, and biology of love into dialogue with Deacon's Inverse Darwinism and McMurtry's life-value framework. It argues that novelty depends not only on selection but on protected margin: reserve, redundancy, diversity, and relational safety. These conditions allow difference to persist, discover complementarity, and become new capacity. Yet complexity can also harden into bureaucracy, dependency, enclosure, and harm. The audiobook proposes life-coherent generative drift as a framework for medicine, education, economics, AI, ecological governance, democracy, and peacebuilding - and asks what world our institutions and conversations are bringing forth.
