By default, Find returns all publications that contain the words in the surnames of their author, in their titles, or in their years. For example,

Maturana finds all publications authored by Maturana and publications that have "Maturana" in their title
Maturana 1974 finds all publications authored by Maturana in 1974

You can directly search for a reference by copy-pasting it. For example,

Glasersfeld E. von (1974) Jean Piaget and the radical constructivist epistemology

Unless a word (or phrase) if prefixed with a minus (-) it must be present in all results. Examples:

Glasersfeld Varela shows all publications Ernst von Glasersfeld and Francisco Varela wrote together.
Glasersfeld "Jean Piaget" finds all publications with Glasersfeld and Jean Piaget in it.

Prefix with - to indicate that this word must not be present in any result: cognition -biology will find entries that have cognition in the title but not biology.

Enter the surname of an author and a year to find all publications the author wrote in that year: Glasersfeld 1995 presents all publications Ernst von Glasersfeld published in 1995.

Use * to match any characters: constructivis* matches constructivism and constructivist.

Enclose phrases between double quotes " to force phrase search: "biology of cognition" lists only the publications containing this phrase. Without the double quotes it will return all publications containing "biology" and all publications containing "cognition".

All the searches above match author names, titles and years. You can also address single fields:

author:glasersfeld title:reality shows publications von Glasersfeld wrote on reality;
abstract:second-order searches all abstracts for "second-order";
editor:Watzlawick finds all books edited by Watzlawick.

Note there is no space after the colon.

Attention: Words of three letters and less are ignored. "Not one, not two" will return no result although there is Varela's paper of this title.

Anderson M., Deely J., Krampen M., Ransdell J., Sebeok T. A. & von Uexküll T. (1984) A semiotic perspective on the sciences: Steps toward a new paradigm. Semiotica 52(1/2): 7–47.

Copy

Semiotics has itself thrived in a generative atmosphere of specialization and synthesis. Now, in an expanding intellectual universe, we converge with several other strains of scholarship. In this brief paper, we not only acknowledge this convergence and complementarity, but actively welcome the emerging rapprochement, which we interpret as representing a radical shift in scientific paradigm. This conceptual revolution transcends a dichotomous Cartesian, analytic view of the world, in the direction of a view embracing the whole, respecting complexity, and fostering synthesis.

Key words: natural selection, dissipative structure, human language, annual international conference, competitive unit.

Copy

The ganglion cell density of the quail’s retina was studied in sections and whole mounts. Two regions of high ganglion cell density were found, corresponding to an afoveate area centralis and an area dorsalis. Oil droplets were found to be isotropically distributed throughout the retina. It is proposed that the significance of such retinal regional specialization, in comparison to similar studies in the pigeon and the chick, is that regional specialization in the avian retina is more closely related to feeding habits than to phylogenetic descendence.

One of the most popular tacks taken to explain cognitive processes likens them to the operations of a digital computer. Indeed, the tasks for the cognitive scientist and the artificial intelligence scientist are often seen as indistinguishable: to understand how a machine or a brain “can store past information about the world and use that memory to abstract meaning from its percepts” (Solso, 1979, p. 425). The fact that there are machines that appear to do this, to varying degrees of success, is often taken to imply, almost by default, that cognition would have to embody the same steps in order to achieve the same results. In what folIows, we outline our objections to this attitude and briefly consider some alternatives.

In contradistinction to the classical problem of scientific inquiry that postulates first a description-invariant “objective world” (as if there were such a thing) and then attempts to write its description, here we are challenged to develop a description-invariant “subjective world,” that is a world which includes the observer. This is the problem. However, in accord with the classic tradition of scientific inquiry which perpetually asks “How?” rather than “What?,” this task calls for an epistemology of “How do we know?” rather than “What do we know?” The following notes on an epistemology of living things address themselves to the “How?” They may serve as a magnifying glass through which this problem becomes better visible.

Key words: science, representation, computation, experience, communication
