Laws of form

Regular price

The exhibition Laws of Form celebrates the 50th anniversary of the book of the same name written by English polymath George Spencer-Brown (1923 –2016). The presentation shows the significance of the book for different sciences: sociology, mathematics, logic and philosophy, and explores how it may contribute to new understanding.

Spencer-Brown described himself as a "mathematician, consulting engineer, psychologist, educational consultant and practitioner, consulting psychotherapist, author, and poet". In addition, he was a strong chess player captaining the combined Cambridge and Oxford Universities team, a two-time world record holder as a glider pilot and a sports correspondent for the Daily Express. He led the Cambridge University formation flying team. In other words: a true multi-talent.
