General Biological Philosophy
Details
This meetup is especially for those Examined Life members, new and long term, who have been interested in biological AND cosmological philosophy, philosophy of the word made flesh and earthly, who have been in a minority in most meet ups.
There are now good enough resources [e.g. good enough works on neuroscience and epigenetics and quantum theory and so on] and so enough resources of the biological and quantum flux sort to discuss the consequences of feelings relating our species human to consequences, that deserve [or do not deserve] our attention [on some basis or other] that we can explore in conversations RATHER THAN in battle [debate].
By entertaining such conversations we can make ourselves fit for a commensalist commensalism on earth, with other animals and humans.
- that demonstrates the limits to which debate is able to go with its own discourse ethics.
And the notion of an inclusive democracy will be seminal to this group and discourses around a general philosophy of understanding becames one way to achieve such an outcome once we were able to pay attention to parts of life that occur inside our bodies, i.e. genes and molecules of emotion, intuitions and feelings, and neurons and suchlike by which means we make the constructs we do with their consequences as we feel them.
The folk organising this bunch of meet ups, bill and jean, have spent some time delving into such issues, and hope others will join us. Dr. Bill Thompson. Nov.2021
