Thanks, Louis, this is an important discussion. I particularly liked the part at the end contrasting reductionism to emergence, i.e. the former being a simplistic dumbing down of all phenomena to the lowest possible level (e.g. Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary psychologists) versus the emergence of new structures and functions as one moves up a hierarchy (see Niles Eldredge). _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
