This page could really use something about Varela's concept of enaction.
And try to speak about varelas' work not from the point of view of maturana. The differences between them are bigger than the simils. Maturana was his first teacher, but after 73 (or maybe before if we believe von foester account in "montegrande"), it was not possible to say who was the master and who was the student. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.89.77.133 (talk) 15:38, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Could we please mention, that Heinz von Foerster was at least an intellectual influence? Hirsch.im.wald (talk) 12:49, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I added material about Varela as the co-founder of Mind and Life Institute. I was surprised to find that not mentioned, since I understood it was the accomplishment for which he is best known by the general public. For that reason, I also added it to the introduction. I hope this is not controversial. Evidence from google is this: "'Fransisco Varela'" alone got 411K hits, "'Fransisco Varela' 'Mind and Life'" got 174K, "'Fransisco Varela' 'autopoiesis'" got 74K. So it seems Mind & Life is actually quite a bit more prominent for Varela than autopoiesis.djlewis (talk) 00:43, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Influence on others
Sam Harris speaks highly of him in his podcast and how Francisco played a significant part in Sam's own spiritual growth.
Given how influential and popular Sam is, I think it makes sense to include this in the article I think — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrinidhi111 (talk • contribs) 17:49, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
