"As Ladyman and Ross write, in the book that I learned about in this group, we radically need to change our metaphysics about what a thing is, or rather is not, and what patterns can be understood as the active entities of both knowledge and existence."
It wasn't clear to me whether this was Joe or Pedro writing, but I concur whole-heartedly! Popper was suggesting the same thing in his last book, "A World of Propensities". In fact, I would go even further to suggest that we free ourselves of our fixation with "things" (objects) and opt instead for a metaphysics predicated on processes (and configurations thereof.) (That's what my latest book is all about. :) The best, Bob _______________________________________________ fis mailing list [email protected] https://webmail.unizar.es/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fis
