Your body is not a machine. It is a nexus of somatic prehensions. It is alive. Talk to it

Morphospaces of embodied cognition
"If we abstract the form from the feeling, we are left with an eternal object as the remnant of subjective form."

"If we abstract the form from the feeling, we are left with an eternal object as the remnant of subjective form."
"The subjective form is the immediate novelty; it is how *that* subject is feeling that objective datum. There is no tearing this subjective form from the novelty of this concrescence. It is enveloped in the immediacy of its present."

"A feeling bears on itself the scars of its birth; it recollects as a subjective emotion its struggle for exsitence; it retains the impress of what it might have been, but is not... The actual cannot be reduced to mere matter of fact in divorce from the potential." -Alfred North Whitehead

What I want to explore is developing a methodology for researching, analyzing, and compiling the data of significant historical examples of somatic experiences and interpret them through a Whiteheadian/Marxist framework of the body as a bearer of social relations and as a site of their reproduction
For instance, the Quadratus Lumborum located in the lower back has a character structure of "autonomy" with one ego function being "balances ones own needs/feelings/desires against others' expectations" coupled with a psych function of "maintaining awareness of oneself while mirroring others"

It's very important to me that we start re-imagining the head. It isn't the seat of consciousness, nor is it where our "thinking" selves are "located" - that our eyes evolved above our shoulders lends bias to a literal hierarchical view of the body, but this isn't necessarily justified

Some literature aimed at putting Karl Marx and Alfred North Whitehead into conversation. Marx as a process philosopher makes sense to me, especially given Manfred Franks insistence on the Schelling influence. I'm interested in seeing how Whitehead's God and Marxs Capital intersect

This is a fantastic article. If what Whitehead says of the human body is true (an amplifier in the terms of electromagnetism) then showing how consciousness is distributed at least across the body is important. Exploring the transduction problem and highlighting of the ENS over the Brain is great

Read Chapter 10 of Alfred North Whiteheads Process & Reality this morning - ending part 2. What a stellar conclusion to this section of the book. The metaphysical contradiction between stasis and movement has always stumped me. His Concrescence scheme clears up a lot of the problems I've had

Hey everyone! First time on here. Needed somewhere to share my readings, so figured I'd make an account. Mostly just for me but please feel free to interact :)
