Abstract
According to cognitive neurosciences the living is capable of basic strategies to reduce complexity. This confirms the phenomenological theories which maintain that the body, through perception and action, is immediately operational and able to rework and reduce the uncertainty of the real. On the other hand, the cultural fact inherits and transcribes the body’s ability to decrypt complexity. How to rethink the relationship between transmission of non‐genetic information, awareness of the complexity and its reduction? Can cultural transmission be seen as a narration of creative “simplifications” that follow one another in history, understood as «the history of human beings that exceed the received ideas»?I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
