New paper, "Enaction as the bringing forth of worlds," by yours truly. Behind a paywall but email me if you'd like a copy. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Enaction as the bringing forth of worlds - Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences

Aww thank you, B!! ☺️
Congratulations to Dr. Genevieve Hayman, who
Just defended an excellent Dissertation, called "Navigating Metaphysical and Epistemic Complexity". She skillfully discussed Yogācāra philosophy, DST & process biology, social epistemology, and discourse theory (linguistics). Kind of mind blowing tbh!

No, I want to put it in my god damned mouth.
