This morning: PROCESSES!!! #ISHPSSB19 @Emily#ISHPSSB19 @Emily
@Emily 1. David Price Brunet: why we should stop worrying and learn to love the machine metaphor...
@Emily “You can’t use the same machine twice.”
@Emily Brunet: instead of criticising the machine metaphor for organisms, we should develop a process ontology of machines. #ISHPSSB19 But, I’m asking myself: why?
@Emily Are machine disanalogies necessary to justify a process view of organisms? I don’t think so. Rather, they are a consequence of the process view. #ISHPSSB19
@Emily 2. Derek Turner: Susanne Langer, a neglected pioneer of process philosophy in biology.
Longer. Whitehead. Cassirer. #ISHPSSB19
Langer: biological acts as constituents of biological processes of individuation and involvement. Acts all the way down: foundation for the concept of an “agent.” #ISHPSSB19
Langer: acts as foundation of a process philosophy of both biology and art.
Amazing talk, @derekdturner! A great tribute to yet another neglected female philosopher. I will use Langer’s philosophy of acts for teaching process philosophy from now on. #ISHPSSB19
@derekdturner Susanne Langer: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susanne_L…. #ISHPSSB19
@derekdturner 3. Murillo Pagnotta: social learning as a relational developmental process (not: the transmission of information). #ISHPSSB19
@derekdturner Pagnotta: cognitivism is hopeless. Ignores context and embodiment. Implies a central organiser or homunculus as source of agency.
@derekdturner Relational developmental process: ecological or enactivist perspective. Structural coupling, animal-environment systems, affordances, and dynamical systems theory. #ISHPSSB19
