Continuing on from the previous posts which relate to religion, materialism and meaning:
From Ettinger: “the trouBle with metaphors of symBiosis and plasticity when applied to the human being — where life for the sake of life thrives with no consideration for the human individual, its consciousness, memory, and pregnancy—when such vision concerns a human being considered from the perspective of autopoiesis, where each organism takes care of its own ontogenetic emergence in a defensive and hostile way—is that such symBiosis, such plasticity, and such a paradigm to think the other of the self undermine the possiBility of ethics.” (2020; §23)
The above has synergies with McGilchrist
From Nail: “De Rerum Natura calls for nothing less than a wholesale overturning of Western philosophy with its statism, logocentrism, idealism, patriarchy, and heteronormativity.” And “To overturn religion, from the Latin words religion and religio, is to overturn the first and most basic misunderstanding of philosophy: that stasis comes before movement.” (2019; p51)
