Advanced Topics in Cybernetics: Self Organization
Weldon Lippold
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

Creative Evolution
H. Bergson
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
