Being in the world is making a world

“According to Santiago’s theory, cognition is not a representation of an independent, pregiven world but rather a bringing forth of the world.  What is brought forth by a particular organism in the process of living is not the world but a world, one that is always dependent on the organism’s structure.”

Fritjof Capra, “Web of Life“, pg. 270
