Why does art even have a history, asked Ernst Gombrich in his classic book Art and Illusion? We might suppose, for instance, that everyone’s pictures would be different, a stylistic jumble resulting from varying competencies, individual desires, local preoccupations. Or to the contrary, we might assume that they would be basically the same, the way […]

The first three editions of Measuring Behaviour were co-authored by Patrick Bateson, known as Pat to his family and friends, and his former graduate student Paul Martin. I had a very special relationship with Pat. Not only was he my father, but I have followed him into the same academic discipline, becoming the second Professor […]

Amidst surges of right- and left-wing populisms—from Trumpian Tea Parties to Black Lives Matter—one cannot avoid hearing accusations that one or another opponent is “divisive” and intolerant.

The Covid-19 pandemic represents a profound challenge for all of mankind. A year after the first outbreak was discovered, deaths directly caused by the virus surpassed 2.5 million, and that number was almost surely an undercount. The discovery of several effective vaccines gave the world hope, but also led to conflict about who should get […]
