phew, some paragraphs are very loooong.

Sprachlich sehr schön, kurze Kapitel, gut lesbar.

Continues to be interesting. The usual critique on antique philosophy and now also some critique of how medieval european philosophy progressed (or not).
Dewey loves modern experimental science but he focusses a lot on its processual elements and on experiments. His view is rather idealized obviously. Still a nice focus away from fact-and-truth-production.

Great so far. Not super focussed, but at least it is relatively well understandable (Admittingly, I have read Whitehead before).
Dewey criticizes that most philosophy focusses on what seems stable and universal, given and ignores change, process, choice. I was briefly reminded of Graebers when Dewey discusses philosophy’s disregard for joy.

A bit dry but interesting

Starts already with a lot of process stuff. Nice.

Now looking into how "systems are at war with themselves". Hope to find some real life applicability…

I can cope with it but it is very much for users who know python well and fluently.

Now, how are morals and pollution realated?

And maybe a bit too much Domain Driven Design language for me. I guess reading DDD instructions is what reading postmodern Philosophy feels for most people, minus the long sentences. So a win for DDD, I guess.

The tests that come along are pretty great when renaming the srt vrbls, actually.

maybe I an not advanced enought but… the author sure likes short vrbl nms.
I expand them so I understand that code.

Stuff that’s not in clear categories is dangerous and powerful. Ask a witch.

What makes you think that the tomato is actually a solid object, not just a-port-of-a-tomato-ish-from-one-perspective surface?
