Complexity theorist Stuart Kaufmann recently gave a talk here from his book Reinventing the Sacred: A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion, which is getting more press these days than most books with a Spinozian/Whiteheadian take on the emergent nature of intelligence, complexity, spirituality, and all that. Talking to him afterwards, I was a […]

immanence & codependent origination

the idea behind this blog (original version)

Posted in Blog stuff, tagged , on December 1, 2008 | 2 Comments »

But that idea mutated as I realized that there […]
