Alicia Juarrero - A Conversation About Context, Philosphy, & Complexity

In this wide-ranging discussion, we'll talk with one of our favorite guests, Alicia Juarrero.

Our starting point will be her new book: Why Context Matters: Or, Where Did Anglo-America Philosophy Go Wrong? We'll ask her to provide some historical context before we move on to the implications of her thesis for modern organizations and everyday life. We'll touch on some of our favorite complexity topics: causality, mereology, constraints, and, of course, context.

We'll kick off the conversation, may have a special mystery guest, and then open it up to audience discussion. See you there!
