The relevance and bandwidth of Polycontexturality can only be estimated in the context of a viriety of avandgardistic and transclassical scientific, therapeutical und cultural efforts.
Common to all those approaches is the fundamental criticism of the (onto-)logical, linguistic and philosophical foundations of the classical dualistic scientific paradigm and their attempt to overcome these limitations towards a transclassical paradigm.
Among this movement one will find:

The Theory of autopoietic systems (Maturana/Varela)
2nd order Cybernetics(Von Foerster, Löfgren, Pask)
Radical Constructivism
Deconstructivism, Grammatology (Derrida)
Polycontexturality (Günther, Kaehr, PCL-Group)
Reflectional Computation (Maes)
General Semantics (Korzybski)
Robotics/Autonomous Agents Scenarios (Pfalzgraf, RISC Linz)

Prominent aim of our PCL-Server is to present the works of the PCL-Group on Polycontexturality. Secondly, we want to establish an open forum of related approaches. All contacts are welcome!
