Peter:
I am not sure that he (deleuze) is exactly what the
"sustainables" presently need
spNetwork:
There is a connection between the Sante Fe complexity group that you
celebrate and the "emergent" self-generating (vitalist) discourse of
DelezueoGuattari. However, as a pragmatist, that you can arrive at the
sensibility of topology as a base condition with biotics always already at
play is fine, indeed. There is this new sort of functionalism that seems to
be emerging, I would maintain that we be wary of the enlightenment
assumptions of pragmatism, (in that it too can instrumentalize ((experience
as truth)). Deleuze's radical empiricism seems to undercut that dilemma.
Does biotics deal with the unconscious???
