Monte Grande, What Is Life?
Francisco Varela was a master of synthesis. Admired, controversial and endowed with the intoxicating passion of an exceptionally gifted researcher. He was highly instrumental in shaping modern systems theory as well as cognitive science. He was a friend of the Dalai Lama and an unorthodox inspirer on the international scientific scene. In this documentary account of a man’s life in the face of imminent death, we get to know this man who spent his life building bridges between western science and eastern wisdom, neurobiology and philosophy, abstract theory and practical life.
