Alicia Juarrero's 1999 Dynamics in Action changed everything for me and had a huge influence on my Mind in Life. I won't be surprised if this one changes everything too: Context Changes Everything https://t.co/15gwn6QYs6

When I was a grad student in the 1980s I read Alicia Juarrero's brilliant 1985 Review of Metaphysics paper, "Self-Organization: Kant's Concept of Teleology & Modern Chemistry." A fantastic paper way ahead of its time. It's long shaped how I think about Kant and self-organization. https://t.co/B767kluSmo

We just finished reading Bergson's Creative Evolution in my graduate seminar, and lo and behold, a new translation has appeared. Bergson was fluent in English and oversaw the earlier translation, so it will be interesting to see how this new one differs. https://t.co/owePZxtkEp
