reviewed Networks of Meaning: A Bridge Between Mind and Matter on November 16, 2016
Networks of Meaning
I was hoping this book would either present me with a model i didn't already know of (from my being familiar with many of the works cited) &or provide a detailed technical framework that would be consistent enough with physics that people who dont have direct experience with ~*woo*~ would be able to directly interact with the dynamics of the mind on a subtle level, but i don't think this book did either. it felt like an advocation for applying strangeloops and complex dynamical systems to one's conception of mind, and if one's already studying those subjects theyre likely to be doing this already. plus Dempster expanded Varela sufficientlly years before this book.
