Another unexpected philosopher used the term "double bind", if not in a more scientific way, but later meaning it in a broader sense; Gregory Bateson the anthropologist.

Watts, Huxley, McKenna and Bateson are to me the most important readings a live could have.



If you've mentioned Bateson in the list with those other names then I will certainly look him up - thank you for that. I would also add Jung to that list (he was an influence on McKenna, as well as Watts).


Joyce and McLuhan also.
