Autopoiesis - Autopoiesis (English spelling)

Japanese: オートポイエーシス - おーとぽいえーしす(英語表記)autopoiesis
Autopoiesis - Autopoiesis (English spelling)

A new theory of self-organization proposed by Humberto Romesín Maturana (1928-2021) and Varela. It refers to a process in which cells, nervous systems, and organisms autonomously generate order by repeating the cycle of creating themselves. It has attracted attention as a theory that explains the truly dynamic aspects of life and social phenomena. Hideo Kawamoto (1953- ) positions classical dynamic equilibrium systems as the first generation, self-organization as the second generation, and autopoiesis as the third generation system. The characteristic of autopoiesis is that the system is closed, that is, reproduction occurs without any external input or output. In other words, it can be said that the active and productive function of self-referentiality is attracting attention.

マトゥラーナHumberto Romesín Maturana(1928―2021)とバレラが提唱した、新しい自己組織化理論。細胞、神経系、生物体などが、自分で自分自身をつくりだすというサイクルを反復することで、自律的に秩序が生成されるようなプロセスをいう。生命現象や社会現象の示す、真にダイナミックな様態を説明するための理論として注目されている。河本英夫(かわもとひでお)(1953― )は、古典的な動的平衡系を第一世代、自己組織化を第二世代、オートポイエーシスを第三世代システムと位置づけている。オートポイエーシスの特徴は、システムが閉じていること、つまり外部からの入力も出力もなしに、再生産が行われることである。いいかえればそこでは、自己言及性のもつ積極的・産出的な働きが注目されているといえる。
