ebook Rocznik Naukowy KPSW w Bydgoszczy. Transdyscyplinarne studia o kulturze (i) edukacji 12/2017, zeszyt 1

It is our great pleasure, and undoubtedly also an intellectual gain, that our Journal for Transdisciplinary Studies on Culture and Education, being hitherto a yearbook of the KPSW University in Bydgoszcz, has got such a wonderful chance to publish a set of special contributions, namely a collection of papers consisting of voices for discussions during the Second Polish Bateson Symposium (1–4 June 2017, Silesian Botanic Garden, Mikołów), to be held under the auspices of the International Bateson Institute from Stockholm, Sweden. From the side of our University, it has appeared as natural to us that our Guest Editor
might exclusively be Nora Bateson, the President and founder of IBI, and first of all the daughter of worldwide famous anthropologist and intellectual
Gregory Bateson to whom this Symposium is devoted. We would like to thank Nora for her kind acceptance of our invitation. Her great Father has become
a symbolic Name whose patrimony within the ideas of the ecology of mind has paved the way to a further increase of a new consciousness about the idea
of what ecology should be and with what kind of novel assumptions this may only happen, being in the first instance of epistemological nature.
